RentRedi offers automatic tenant income and asset verification to help landlords get a deeper understanding of each applicant’s financial stability. This verification is powered and certified by Plaid, allowing secure access to verified financial information directly from the applicant’s bank account.

When applicants complete tenant screening, they will pay $49.99 total, which includes:

  • $39.99 – TransUnion background check (credit, criminal, and eviction reports)

  • $10.00 – Plaid-certified income and assets verification

This combined screening gives landlords a more complete financial picture of prospective tenants while keeping the process fast and automated.
