\"How<\/a>
Running a Tenant Credit Check Is Fast with Today’s Online Services<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Twenty years of observing landlords while operating the ClearNow online rent payment service<\/a> has taught us one powerful lesson. Good landlords screen their tenants<\/a>. Even better, while in the past tenant screening was a slow and paper-based process, today’s online services make it easy to run a fast tenant credit check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tenant Credit Checks Protect the Landlord<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the adage goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. While tenant screening is not foolproof, a credit report is an indicator of the past financial habits of an individual. For many landlords, their biggest mistake<\/a> was renting to a tenant that was not qualified and having to deal with an eviction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Online Tenant Screening is Fast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the past, running a fast credit check on a tenant was not possible. Now however, the process is lightning quick. With a service like ClearNow SmartMove, the process is as fast as email:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. You sign up for a free online account (at https:\/\/ClearNow.MySmartMove.com<\/a>).<\/li>
  2. Through your account, you email the tenant to do a background check. You can specify that the tenant pays the fee.<\/li>
  3. As soon as the tenant does their part, you will receive an email that a report with a credit check and criminal and eviction report is ready for you to view.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Unlike ages ago, tenant screening does not need to take days to process. Get started at https:\/\/ClearNow.MySmartMove.com<\/a> today! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
