Tenant Screening Process
Screen a Tenant in Four Simple Steps
Screen tenants in 4 simple steps:
start from your dashboard, send the request online, and receive the report
instantly—no
printing or mailing needed.
Request a Screening
Create an account with LeaseRunner. From your LeaseRunner dashboard, generate the screening request by selecting the reports you want (credit, criminal, eviction, income verification, or rental application) and decide who covers the fee.
Invite Applicant
With one click, easily invite the applicant by sending a secure email link, or sharing your custom application URL. Applicants don’t order themselves; they use only the secure link you provide.
Applicant Verifies
The applicant uses the secure link to complete the rental application and provide required screening information. Payment is processed automatically—either by the applicant or the landlord, depending on your setup.
Get The Report Right Away
Once authorization and payment are complete, reports are sent to your dashboard within minutes. You’ll receive credit, criminal, eviction, income, and rental application results in one place. If no credit history exists, the credit report is skipped, the fee is adjusted, and you’re notified.

Testimonials
Over 12 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.
