Confirm how a tenant behaved in their previous rentals before you sign.
A tenant's past rental behaviour is the best predictor of their future behaviour. Rental history checks reach out to previous landlords to confirm how the tenant behaved over the term of their last tenancies.
We contact previous landlords and property managers to confirm the key facts of past tenancies. If a reference cannot be reached, we flag that clearly so you can decide for yourself.
Our team reaches out directly to the landlord references provided by the applicant. We use a standard set of questions so every tenant is assessed the same way, and we record the answers for your review.
If the applicant has never rented before, we mark the history as "New Tenant" — this is common for young professionals and students, and we still verify their identity, employment and credit.
Repeated late payments, unexplained early move-outs, eviction notices, or landlords who refuse to give a reference all raise flags. None of these automatically disqualify a tenant, but they are brought to your attention so you can make an informed call.
