Find Better Tenants with Fast, Reliable Background Checks

Clearcheck makes it easy to perform comprehensive landlord background checks in minutes. Whether you manage a single rental property or an entire portfolio of apartments, our online screening platform delivers fast, accurate information so you can make more informed leasing decisions.

With an intuitive ordering process, secure online reports, and quick turnaround times, Clearcheck helps landlords confidently screen rental applicants while maintaining compliance with applicable federal and state regulations.

Every rental application represents a financial decision. Accepting the wrong tenant can result in unpaid rent, property damage, costly evictions, legal disputes, and unnecessary stress.

A comprehensive tenant background check provides valuable information that helps landlords evaluate applicants more objectively. While no background report can predict future behavior, it can reveal information relevant to the rental application process.

Why Landlords Should Conduct Background Checks

Benefits of tenant screening include:

• Reduce the risk of fraud and identity theft
• Verify an applicant’s identity
• Review available criminal history records
• Help protect residents and neighboring tenants
• Support consistent and objective rental decisions
• Save time compared to manual research
• Improve confidence before signing a lease

Whether you’re an independent landlord, a property management company, or a real estate investment group, tenant screening should be part of every leasing process.

What’s Included in a Landlord Background Check?
