Bellingham, Washington, United States
What it is
E-Renter is a web-based consumer reporting agency providing tenant and employee screening reports. Checks can include identity and Social Security number validation, evictions, bankruptcies, criminal and sex-offender records, OFAC and Patriot Act searches, liens, judgments, and previous addresses. Individual landlords can see whether applicants meet selected minimum credit criteria, but they do not receive the full credit report or score. Commercial accounts provide direct 24/7 access to full credit and other screening reports, plus custom solutions and discount pricing. Basic costs $21.95, paid once and includes identity verification and a background check; criminal-record availability varies by state. Premium costs $31.95, paid once and adds a credit check, with an additional $2.49 paid by the tenant for verification. Ultimate costs $36.95, paid once and adds name history, address history, and Rent Check Advisor, with the same additional charge. The site says there are no membership or recurring fees, and reports are available in all 50 states.
