How ApplyConnect Works
Everyone starts by having their identity protected and verified. Renters safely purchase their Experian credit report, and it's automatically shared with the rental property.
Renters and properties receive the tenant screening report. Renters then complete the included rental application and submit it for the property to review and make their decision.
The property notifies all of the rental applicants that have applied through ApplyConnect whether they have been approved, denied, or if there are conditions for their approval.
The Report
Every report includes a complete Experian credit history and ApplyConnect background check that provides much of the information relied upon when deciding whether to approve or deny rental applicants.

A Full Experian® Credit Report
This includes a payment history on all real estate, installment, and revolving credit accounts, collection accounts, civil judgments, tax liens and bankruptcy, and prior names, addresses, and employment history.
VantageScore® Credit Score
Using the same 300 – 850 scale as FICO and developed by the 3 major credit bureaus, VantageScore is among the best credit scoring risk models available. VantageScore allows for 30 million more consumers to be scored with less available data than FICO.
A Nationwide Criminal Background Check
The best available and most accurate criminal record database scan covering local courts from all 50 states plus DC, jails and prisons, and wants & warrants.
Sex Offender Registry Search
A database scan of all available U.S. sex offender registries to help landlords and real estate agents determine whether they can legally approve an applicant based on the location of their property. A physical description and photographs will be displayed, when available.
Nationwide Eviction History
A civil court search scanning the nation’s largest eviction database with 36+ million unique records including judgments and filings – no duplicates.
Comply with Local Laws
Let ApplyConnect help you respond to local laws that are constantly changing. Enter the property zip code each time you invite a rental applicant, and ApplyConnect’s Regulatory Matrix will look up those laws and update the report to be compliant. Less concern and more safety in your decision!
Tenant Screening Reports with Background Checks

FAQs
Most renters purchase a copy of their report to share with properties they apply for, and ApplyConnect is designed for this to be the default process. The property may also choose to purchase the report for their applicants. This can be done easily through the “My Account” tab when logged in, and by checking the box that says “Enable Landlord/Agent Payment”.
Including the zip code of the rental property will add a bonus search to the tenant screening report. ApplyConnect will check the zip code for any local laws on what information can be used in the rental decision, and then will reduce your liabilities by filtering information that isn’t safe to rely on.
No! There is no part of the process that will have an impact on anyone’s credit score. If your social security number is required during the account setup process then it is only a one-time, safe and secure way of verifying your identity. When a report is purchased the renter’s SSN is requested again for the credit report, and it is used for a ‘soft-inquiry’ meaning there will be zero impact to the credit score.
ApplyConnect reports always include an Experian credit report, a nationwide criminal database scan, and a nationwide eviction history. There is no need to select individual reports or pick from a variety of products – the report is designed to be fair and consistent for all applicants while providing the most well-rounded amount of relevant detail to make informed decisions.
This is the credit score included on all tenant screening reports. Many people are familiar with the FICO score, and VantageScore works exactly the same way. The biggest difference is the VantageScore is newer, and is able to provide a score on over 30 million more people.
How many times the tenant screening report can be shared by a renter. That’s it. All information is identical with both options. Renters who purchase the Apply Three have the added benefit of being able to improve their odds of finding their next home and saving money by sharing their report with up to 3 different properties.
Setup is Free and you're ready to start screening in minutes!
