Zillow Tenant Application Screening

Zillow Tenant Application Screening

Member since 2020 · 15 posts · 0 votes

Hello everyone,

Zillow charges $29 to a prospective tenant that fills out an application with the credit and background check. 

I'm just looking for a reality check. 

Do some landlords collect the application fee directly from a prospective tenant and run the credit check themselves as opposed to the tenant paying the background and credit check agency directly?

Thanks in advance,

Ernie

I use RentecDirect.com but I also use them as a PM software.

rentprep.com is also nice. It's what I used before.

As far as rental and work history, I call and verify myself. Tip: Run the phone numbers they give you on facebook search bar. If a mutual friend of their pop up then they are probably lying hahaha
