This feature allows your identity to be verified by asking a set of personal questions only the applicant will know. This increases security and ensures the landlord is dealing with the proper person applying for the lease. If this section is failed, the applicant attempting to apply will be unable to proceed.
No. This will not impact your credit score.
- Tenant Screening For Landlords pulls credit reports directly from Transunion and is a “Soft Hit”.
- This is because an invitation is sent to the applicant, the applicant then pays the application fee and gives permission directly to the credit bureau.
- Because TSFL prompts you to initiate the request yourself, the credit check is considered a “soft hit” on your credit history—and doesn’t impact your credit in any way.
This is where you can enter the property details for the homes or units you wish to lease.
By adding the property you are managing, you are able to select that property and initiate a background screening request to an applicant.
Note:
*There must be a property added before you are able to request a background check.
Your background check and credit report will be available for a one time use only to the property manager/landlord who requested it. Upon the landlord viewing the background report, Tenant Screening for Landlords (TSFL) purges that information from our system. TSFL does not provide your SSN to the landlord/property manager who requested it. That information is masked.
No. Tenant Screening for Landlords does not make that viewable to the property manager/landlord that requested your background check.
No, not at this time. You may contact the credit bureaus for a free copy of your report, or go to https://www.annualcreditreport.com/index.action for a free copy.
Below is the contact information for each bureau.

Screening employees for exclusions protects your organization from civil monetary penalties of thousands, if not millions of dollars. These penalties are levied by the OIG against organizations who employ excluded providers or vendors, while receiving payments through a federal health care program.
An exclusion is an action taken by the Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General (HHS OIG) that prohibits an individual or entity from participating in any health care program that receives federal funds.
A federal exclusion is an action taken against an individual or entity by the OIG that excludes them from participating in Medicare and all other Federal health care programs. State exclusions are actions taken by individual states that prevent an individual or entity from receiving state Medicaid funds.
It’s important to note that not all state exclusions are reported to the OIG, so it’s beneficial to screen employees and vendors through all available federal and state exclusions lists.
Yes, the impact of an exclusion stretches beyond the individual or entity and is applicable to anyone who employs or contracts them while receiving government funds.
Anyone can be excluded by the OIG, even the cashier at your local pharmacy, so it’s important to be proactive and screen all of your employees, not just those who provide patient care.
A state board sanction is a disciplinary action that’s taken against an individual by a state licensing board. The severity of a sanction ranges from placing the provider on probation to a complete revocation of their license.
Screening for state board sanctions ensures that you’re not employing unlicensed or disciplined providers that put your organization at risk for fines and liability.
Not always. Sanctions are usually a result of some sort of professional misconduct which may or may not be severe enough to result in an exclusion.
Employers are responsible for providing patients with safe, reliable care. Those who fail to monitor or take the appropriate action against health care providers who have received a board sanction are fostering an environment that puts patients at risk, which can result in criminal and civil liabilities.
Employees and vendors are submitted through a FACIS® (Fraud and Abuse Control Information System) search, which screens them against thousands of disciplinary records collected from primary sources, on health care providers who have had an adverse action taken against them by a federal or state government regulatory body or state-licensing board.
