Need to screen a tenant or guarantor who didn’t apply—or already applied outside of RentRedi? No worries! You can easily request a screening right from your dashboard! 😄

Follow the workflow below to request a screening: 👇

Step 1: Add the Tenant to their Unit

  1. From your RentRedi dashboard, click the Add+ next to the Renters tab.

  2. Select a property and unit where you want to add the tenant.

  3. Fill out the tenant's first and last name.

  4. Under "Send Invite", select between sending "Now" or "Skip/Later".

  5. Enter the tenant's email address and phone number.

  6. Under "Send From", select the email address where the invite will be sent from.

  7. Under Owner / Company Name, enter a name that you want to be shown for you in the invite.

  8. Click "Add Tenant".

Step 2: Requesting the Screening

  1. After adding the tenant, they'll appear under the Current list.

  2. Select the tenant's profile, and click the three-dot (⋮) menu on the right side.

  3. Click Screen Tenant.

  4. Review the screening request details.

    1. Optional: The screening request includes Income & Asset Verification for an additional $10. If you do not want the prospect to complete this verification, simply uncheck the option.

  5. Confirm and send by clicking the Request button

Done! ✅ The tenant will receive an email notification to complete their screening in RentRedi.

Note: You can also invite the tenant to apply first if you’d like them to submit an application in RentRedi. Check out this article for more details on how to send an invite!

Step 3: Viewing the Screening Reports

Once the screening request has been sent, you can track its progress directly from the tenant's Screening tab. After the tenant completes the screening, the status will update accordingly.

  1. Go to your Renters dashboard.

  2. Select the tenant.

  3. In their profile, click the Screening tab.
