TransUnion SmartMove Reviews

TransUnion SmartMove Description

Reliable credit checks tailored for tenant evaluations are now available. SmartMove's tenant credit checks leverage ResidentScore, offering a 15% improved prediction of rental eviction risk compared to standard credit scores, thereby assisting landlords in making more assured rental choices. Furthermore, access to over 370 million criminal records from both state and national databases equips landlords with extensive information. The service boasts one of the largest databases of evictions, compliant with FCRA regulations, containing 27 million eviction records that span all 50 states and Washington D.C. This allows landlords to identify applicants who may require further verification while bypassing less qualified candidates. Traditionally, tenant screening was primarily accessible to large, professional property management firms, which is understandable given that many individual landlords find it challenging to obtain specific types of tenant background checks, such as tenant credit reports. Consequently, this limitation often impacts rental property owners, real estate agents, and smaller property management companies as well. With these advancements, tenant screening has become more accessible for all types of landlords.
