Wouldn't it be powerful if we could flag rental applicants with information detailing their negative rental payment performance and alert future landlords to issues that standard background checks miss? Now we can!
Most tenant screening reports include eviction data, as well as criminal & credit checks, but they rely on static, public records.
Think about Waze maps: The more people contribute and report road conditions—hazards, police, or traffic slowdowns—the more powerful, accurate, and valuable the map becomes for everyone.
The same principle applies to the landlord and real estate community. By contributing your real-time tenant performance data, you make the TenantTracks platform exponentially more powerful and create a safer environment for all landlords.
You realize certain negative tenant performance, like criminal backgrounds and bankruptcy, will likely be documented publicly. However, future landlords may never see many of the other important "red flags" because they are not traditionally documented on screening reports.
TenantTracks lets you flag these hazards:
Notice to Quit Served
Summons and Complaint Served
Tenants paid rent after 10 days grace period (Late Payment)
Tenant made partial payment
Tenant made no payment / no legal action taken
Tenant served notice of lease violation
Cash for keys paid in lieu of eviction
Landlords have voiced their desire for such a powerful tool, and TenantTracks is proud to be the first and only tenant screening platform in the state to offer this service.
