There are several reasons why landlords and property managers screen tenants online vs. traditional methods. These include:
ReplyDelete1) It’s faster. Average turnaround time to screen tenants online is instant where as the "old school" methods can take hours and/or days.
2) It’s less expensive. You can screen tenants online for only $25.00 using a service like TransUnion’s SmartMove (www.mysmartmove.com).
3) With TransUnion's SmartMove online screening, tenants are not required to supply their social security number to a prospective landlord thus there is no worry that their personal information will end up in the hands of someone else.
