Best Data in New England, and Reliable Nationwide

For landlords and property managers in New England, securing the right tenant is the single most important factor for protecting their rental property investment. A single bad tenant can lead to financial losses from unpaid rent, costly property damage, and the emotional and legal stress of a prolonged eviction process. While TenantTracks is the only source of complete and localized data in New England, our comprehensive screening reports are also reliable nationwide.

This is why a truly comprehensive and accurate tenant screening solution isn't just a suggestion—it's the foundation of a successful and stable rental business.

While many national tenant screening services claim to be the best, they often fail to deliver complete and reliable data, especially in New England states like Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont. These data gaps can leave you unknowingly vulnerable to hidden risks. TenantTracks, a New England-based company, is the only source of complete and localized data in these states, providing unparalleled insights that others miss.

Here’s why TenantTracks is the only choice for landlords and property managers who want the most accurate and actionable screening results.

The Dangers of Incomplete National Screening Reports

Many popular tenant screening services rely on large, national databases that frequently fail to capture the full picture. This is particularly true in New England, where local court systems and unique state laws, such as Massachusetts' new eviction sealing law, can make it difficult for out-of-state companies to provide consistent, up-to-date information.

The most significant dangers of these incomplete reports include:

Missing Eviction Records: Platforms like Zillow, RentSpree, and SoftScreen have been found to have crucial gaps in their data, particularly in states like Connecticut. This means you could be renting to an applicant with a history of non-payment or lease violations without even knowing it.

Arbitrary Criminal History Time Limits: Some national services limit criminal history reporting to the last 7 years, regardless of state laws. This is a critical flaw. A serious felony from 8 or 10 years ago—including offenses like arson or violent crimes—could be entirely missed, posing a significant risk to your property and the safety of your community.

Inadequate Alias Name Searching: Applicants may use different names due to marriage, divorce, or other reasons. If a screening company doesn't employ sophisticated "alias name logic," a problematic past associated with a different name could go undetected, undermining the reliability of your tenant background check.

The TenantTracks Advantage: Unmatched Accuracy & Local Expertise

TenantTracks was built to solve these problems by providing the most robust, hyper-local data available. We don’t just "private label" data from a third party; we actively host and maintain our own records for New England states.

Complete Local Eviction Records: We are the only source of complete eviction data for Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Massachusetts. We go beyond national databases, actively sourcing information from various courthouses to provide a complete and accurate picture of an applicant's rental history.

Navigating Massachusetts' Eviction Sealing Law: With the new law allowing tenants to hide past eviction records, many national screening companies have stopped showing MA eviction records altogether. TenantTracks remains a reliable source, providing MA eviction records while fully complying with the new sealing law, ensuring you get the crucial history you need to make an informed decision.

Rigorous Alias Name Eviction Matches: Our proprietary system searches two separate databases—our own internal records and a national database. This allows us to use robust "alias name logic" to link records across various names an applicant may have used, ensuring that any associated eviction records, even under a previous name, are uncovered. This is a vital layer of protection for fraud prevention in tenant applications.

Extensive Criminal History, No Time Limits: Unlike services that arbitrarily limit criminal reporting, TenantTracks provides a far more extensive criminal history search. We understand that a full historic picture is essential for proper applicant screening and do not hide or conceal conviction data after an arbitrary amount of time.

The Revolutionary Tenant Performance Database (New & Free!): This groundbreaking innovation addresses the "soft data" gap that traditional reports miss. We empower landlords to report crucial real-time tenant payment information and lease violations—both positive and negative. This data, which is accessible to future landlords, includes details like:

• Consistent late payments.
• Partial payments being the norm.
• Receipt of a "Notice to Quit" or "Summons and Complaint."
• Lease violations that didn't escalate to a formal eviction.
• "Cash for keys" arrangements.

This unpublicized, real-time data provides unprecedented insight into an applicant’s actual behavior as a renter, far beyond what any credit or eviction report can show. We are proud to be the first and only tenant screening platform in our region to offer this critical, free service.
