Tenant Screening Service: One Report, Every Application
Searching for an apartment or house to rent usually means filling out application after application—and paying separate screening fees every single time. Apartment One’s tenant screening service puts an end to that. Complete your background check once, securely, online, and use your results to apply to multiple properties through our platform.
What Is Tenant Screening?
Tenant screening is the process landlords and property managers use to evaluate a rental applicant before approving a lease. It typically involves reviewing your credit history, rental and eviction records, and criminal background information (where legally permitted) to help property owners make informed leasing decisions.
Instead of every landlord running their own separate check—and charging you separately for it—Apartment One lets you complete a single, comprehensive tenant screening that you control and can share as you search for housing.

What’s Included in an Online Tenant Background Check
Depending on the screening package you select and the availability of public records in your area, your report may include:
- Credit-related information relevant to rental qualification
- Eviction history records
- Criminal background information, where legally permitted
- Other rental-relevant screening data used by landlords and property managers
All screening is processed in accordance with applicable laws, and results are delivered directly to your secure Apartment One account.
Why Renters Use Apartment One for Screening
- Screen once, apply many times. Skip paying for a new background check with every property you’re interested in.

Why Landlords and Property Managers Trust Screened Applicants
Property managers and independent landlords listing on Apartment One receive tenant inquiries from renters who have already started or completed the screening process. This means less back-and-forth, more organized applicant information, and a smoother path toward filling vacancies with qualified tenants.
Important Information About Screening Results
Apartment One is a technology and rental-services platform. We do not own, manage, or guarantee the availability of listed properties, and we are not the final decision-maker on any rental application. Final approval decisions, lease terms, deposits, and rental requirements are determined independently by the applicable landlord or property manager. A completed screening report does not guarantee approval, placement, or the execution of a lease—it simply gives you a ready-to-use tool to support your rental search.
