SmartMove Tenant Screening Services Help You Get the Place You Want

Tenant screening is not a process many renters enjoy. You’re required to give your personal information, such as social security number and account numbers, to a perfect stranger (landlord). The landlord then uses a tenant screening service to run a criminal and credit check — which could potentially impact your credit score.

Luckily, with SmartMove, you can protect your personal information and your credit score. Through a secure, online process, you enter your personal information into SmartMove’s system which then generates and delivers the screening reports to the landlord. Not only does this process keep your personal information private, it also has no impact on your credit score — and who doesn’t want that?
