If you’re in Cedar Rapids and looking for a solid way to screen tenants without spending a ton, there are a few great options. Platforms like Avail and TurboTenant let you run full background, credit, and eviction checks without charging you directly—the tenant covers the screening fee, which is usually around $45–$55. RentPrep is another affordable choice, offering basic checks for about $21.95 or more detailed reports with credit info for around $40. SmartMove by TransUnion is also reliable and tenant-paid.
