Helpful tips on management for landlords!
Resident Screening Trends for
Independent Landlords
By Andy Cruickshank,
Vice President of RentGrow, Inc.
In the United States, it’s estimated that
18 million rental units are managed by
small and independent landlords. This
population of landlords is continuing
to grow, especially with the current
influx of single family homes turning
into rental properties. As times change,
there are multiple rising trends in
resident screening that continue to
shape the rental industry. The key is
to be aware of these trends and adapt
with them in order to improve and
safeguard your assets. In this article, we
will take a look at the current trends
for resident screening, specifically for
independent landlords.
Accessibility of
Applicant Information
Living in the age of technology,
our generation has experienced an
explosion of data, via the internet. It
has become customary to have access
to everything instantly and easily
through the web, but with resident
screening, while applicant information
is available, the opportunity of
collecting it has become an issue.
Where do landlords begin to find
applicant information? What service
should be used? Once you determine
a viable starting point, how will you
access it? What guidelines have to be
followed in order to access personal
information? The obstacles can be
many creating a tedious and timeconsuming, resulting in wasted time
and energy. Finding convenience and
reliability in resident screening means
you’ve found the right solution.
Deteriorating Pool
of Qualified Applicants
Over the past decade, a growing
Housing News
concern for landlords is the decreasing
pool of qualified applicants. Landlords
surveyed across the country agree
that the “quality of applicants is not
what it used to be.” You can forget
about the days where landlords could
rely on intuition and first impressions
alone, as a predictor of who’s a “good”
renter. Today, landlords are looking for
a broader and deeper perspective on
each applicant bringing forth multiple
data elements that include: eviction,
criminal, national sex offender registry,
address search, social security fraud
checks, as well as a credit evaluation.
This qualified pool of applicants is
likely to continue to deteriorate as the
U.S. economic environment worsens
with job losses and foreclosures.
Rise in Criminal
Background Checks
More than five years ago RentGrow
customers screened less than 50%of
every 100 tenant applicants for
criminal background checks. Today
85% of people processing credit checks
are also running criminal background
checks, confirming that criminal
background checks are a growing
priority, while raising a concern of
“how” to access that information.
Today, small landlords have limited
sources to collect criminal data,
experiencing an overall lack of
detailed information. Landlords start
by contacting local police stations
or making visits to courthouses or
state buildings. This amounts to a
tedious, time-consuming process
with a narrow range of information
and often incomplete information. If
an applicant was convicted of a crime
outside of the county being searched,
the results will not show up. Due to
the increase of states putting forth
criminal information and data online, it
is becoming easier to collect accurate,
up-to-date information, increasing
the trend of using criminal screening
March 2009
as a main data point on applicants.
Resident screening is taking a step
towards a comprehensive solution
that doesn’t focus purely on credit
evaluations.
Rise in the “Shadow”
Rental Marketplace
A growing industry concern is the
“shadow” rental marketplace, which
is when homeowners are unable, or
unwilling, to sell their homes in the
current residential real estate market
and instead opt to rent it. Rather than
taking a loss in the sale of a home,
some homeowners are seeking to wait
for the real estate market to stabilize
and rebound before selling. A recent
study by the prevent identity theft
and to verify a person’s identity when
an address discrepancy is reported. In
the case of address discrepancy, if the
property manager can’t work out the
discrepancy, the rule says he/she is not
to rent to this individual.
While the rule has caused
some confusion, compliance is
straightforward. The only thing
that rental owners or property
managers have to show is that
they have a “reasonable” process in
place for preventing identity theft
and for checking IDs, verifying IDs,
and following up/asking about any
discrepancies.
Be In the Know
Changes are constant within the
landlord and independent rental
owner marketplace and as we
move towards better “availability” of
information and a tightening of “who”
can access it, it is more important than
ever to adapt to the latest trends and
services that continue to shape the
multifamily industry. It’s time to join
the movement and trust the experts,
with an absolute, top-notch resident
screening solution.

National MultiHousing Council (NMHC)
stated that, almost 1 million U.S. single
family homes and condominiums are
available in the U.S. This quantity of
vacant residences is beyond normal
standards and likely to grow to an
excess of 2 million, with the current
economic climate. For the foreseeable
future, independent landlords
will continue to compete with the
homeowners of this growing “shadow”
rental market.
Limited Access to Full
Credit Report Information
With the increased instances of
fraud and identity theft in the U.S.,
credit bureaus are tightening access
to full credit reports and personal
information. The window of
accessibility is continuing to shrink,
due to laws and regulations seeking to
further protect personal information
of U.S. citizens. For landlords to
receive full credit reports and personal
information they must comply with
permissible purpose laws. Under these
laws, credit bureaus require that you
have a separate office, identified as a
“business” office, which requires an
on-site inspection from an authorized
third compliance firm.
Meeting prospective tenants at rental
property sites does not count as a
business office. To be considered a
“business” office, you must have a
designated room containing securable
cabinetry to protect sensitive
information and it must be a separate
meeting place for clients. On top of
that, you must have a proper way
of disposing sensitive information
(e.g. paper shredder) in order to
protect your tenant’s privacy. If you
fail to meet their requirements your
privileges to accessing full credit
reports will be revoked. A resident
screening provider will keep you
aligned with new and existing laws and
regulations.
Additionally, as of November 1, 2008
the “Red Flag” rule was enforced,
stating that sensitive information must
be kept secure to prevent identity theft
and a discrepancy in an address could
indicate fraud. The rule requires that
“reasonable” policies be in place to
