Add TransUnion Screening to your RentGrade Pro Account
TransUnion Integration is recommended for Property Managers that need to get reports directly from the bureau and run a credit, criminal, and eviction check on applicants. This allows you to set up a RentScreener Account and set your own Application Fee up to $99.00 and Customizable Application. With a full TransUnion integration, you can process an applicant in under 30 seconds.
This account setup takes longer (up to 3 weeks) due to the TransUnion Membership Process you will have to undergo if you should decide to go this route.
