ApplyConnect
Tenant Screening. Better.
Overview
ApplyConnect offers a unique, consumer-initiated approach to tenant screening. Instead of landlords ordering reports, renters purchase their own comprehensive credit and background report and can then share it with any landlord or agent for up to 30 days. This model enhances privacy and security for the renter, as they control who sees their sensitive information. The reports are comprehensive, provided by a major credit bureau, and include credit history, nationwide criminal and eviction data. The service is free for landlords and real estate agents to use.
✨ Key Features
- Consumer-initiated screening reports
- Full Credit Report

🎯 Key Differentiators

💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Landlords who prefer to control and pay for the screening process directly.
- Users who need integrated property management features.
🏆 Alternatives
The model is fundamentally different from landlord-initiated screening. By having the applicant purchase and share their own report, it streamlines the process for all parties and improves data privacy for the applicant.
