Automated Tenant Screening Report Aggregator for Independent Landlords
Independent landlords managing 1-10 rental units screen tenants manually: running credit checks, verifying employment, checking references, and searching court records across multiple services. A screening aggregator that combines credit, criminal, eviction, and employment verification into a single report with a risk score would give independent landlords the same screening quality as large property management companies.
Problem Statement
A landlord with 3 rental units needs to screen an applicant. They use Experian for a credit check ($15), a separate service for criminal background ($10), manually call the employer to verify income ($30 min), manually call previous landlord references ($20 min), and search county court records for evictions ($15 min). Total: $25 and 65 minutes of work per applicant. For 5 applicants per vacancy, that is $125 and 5.4 hours. They need: applicant submits their info → a single report is generated combining credit score, criminal history, eviction records, employment verification, and reference summaries → the report includes a risk score and recommendation.
The Idea
A tenant screening aggregator for independent landlords that combines credit reports, criminal background checks, eviction history, employment verification, and reference checks into a single scored report, providing property management-grade screening without managing multiple services.
Why Now
There are 14.6M independent landlords in the US managing 1-10 units. Most screen tenants using a patchwork of services: one for credit checks, another for criminal background, manual phone calls for employment and references. Large property management companies use integrated screening (AppFolio, Buildium) but these tools cost $50-$200/month and are designed for 50+ units.
Target User
Independent landlords and small property owners managing 1-10 rental units who need comprehensive tenant screening without property management software
