What's new

Previously, applicants paid the screening fee when submitting a rental application. Now, you can choose to have your RentRedi account charged instead.

  • $39.99 for the standard TransUnion screening (credit, criminal, and eviction reports).

  • $49.99 if Income & Asset Verification is enabled.

How to Cover the Screening Fee

  1. Using the search bar, type in "auto-tenant screening", then select the first result.

  2. In the Screening Rules section, you'll see a new Covered By column.

  3. Select the unit you'd like to update.

  4. Under Cover the screening fee, turn the switch On.

  5. You'll then see a message to confirm the screening fee is covered by you!

Done! āœ… You can repeat these steps for additional units where you'd like to cover the screening fee.

Important notes:

  • Tenants pay the screening fee by default unless you choose to Cover the Screening Fee.

  • If you only want to pay the standard screening fee of $39.99 to generate a tenant's credit, criminal, and eviction reports, make sure Income & Asset Verification is turned off for that unit.

  • If Income & Asset Verification is enabled, your account will be charged $49.99 per screening.

  • This setting is configured per unit, so you can decide which tenants' screening fees you'd like to cover.

  • The screening fee is charged to the main account holder's payment method—the same payment method used for paying the RentRedi subscription.
