As regulations are put into place to decrease fraud and to protect individual privacy, it is becoming more and more difficult for landlords to complete critical and effective tenant screening. Even property management companies can have difficulty keeping staff trained and implementing procedures to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).

A good alternative is using a professional tenant screening service. It’s important, also, to be sure that the service you choose is reliable, accredited, FCRA trained and compliant, and has proper security measures in place.

Also review the information provided to you in a tenant background search to make sure it covers all the information you need.
