Frequently Asked Questions:

SmartMove provides background check results in minutes. Our advanced system analyzes millions of records from numerous databases and criminal registries, providing comprehensive reports you can use to guide your leasing decisions.

All you need to do is supply your applicant’s email address. SmartMove sends the potential tenant a background check request, and as soon as authorization is received and their identity is verified, reports are delivered to your inbox.

Income Insights: Our proprietary tenant background checks offer Income Insights, a custom report that tells landlords which applicants need additional income verification. This report can help you save time and effort during the tenant screening process and can lower your risk of tenant payment issues.

ResidentScore: This credit measurement is built specifically for tenant screening and delivers a better assessment of tenant risk than a typical credit score. According to TransUnion research, ResidentScore predicts evictions 15% more often in comparison to a typical credit score in the bottom 20% score range where risk is greatest.•

Choice of Who Pays: You can opt to have renters cover the cost of tenant screening. SmartMove gives landlords flexibility to choose to pay or pass the cost of tenant screening services to your applicant. It’s free to sign up and there’s no fee to request a tenant screening report.
