Testimonials
Over 15 Years of Trust and Success
I've been using LeaseRunner for years. It makes it easy for tenants to apply and pay for their own screening. I also feel good about the screening fee going directly to a third party, versus me collecting it directly. Reports are clear, and the application gives me almost everything I need for my lease.

LeaseRunner removes the direct contact negatives, like people suspicious of handling personal information over to another who may or may not be legit. I had an applicant accuse me of being a personal information thief! It was all a distraction. Turns out she was a twice-evicted train wreck with terrible credit. Now using LeaseRunner, there is a third element and the process is between the applicant and LeaseRunner. I get my reports and nothing more. Completing the process all online in as little as 1 hour!

I've used LeaseRunner for 2 years now (referral from a buddy who has used them for multiple years). LR is really easy to use and very simple. They are great for applications, screenings, and lease documents.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Under Md. Real Property § 8-218, acceptance is the landlord's choice — but they must notify applicants of their policy, and accepting landlords cannot charge you an application or access fee.
Under Md. Code, Real Property § 8-218, any Maryland landlord who chooses to accept a reusable tenant screening report is required to disclose that policy clearly and conspicuously. The disclosure can be on their listing, website, or application. If you don't see a notice, it most likely means they do not currently participate in the PTSR program. Or you can ask them up front.
30 days from preparation. Within that window, share the same report with as many Maryland landlords as your search covers.
§ 8-218 allows it. You confirm your name, address, bankruptcy status, criminal history, and eviction history haven't changed since the report was generated — a quick statement, not a new screening.
$20 per applicant aged 18 or older — one payment, reusable for 30 days. Compare that with paying up to $25 in application fees at every single property.
