One-Time Landlord Contact Verification
Landlords must verify their personal contact details for accurate screening reports. This information is only shared with TransUnion/SmartMove and not with tenants.
- Complete all required fields, including the address registered with TransUnion SmartMove.
- Click Proceed to complete verification.
Please Note:
Our Tenant Screening tool can only screen applicants with a valid U.S. Social Security number, as our background reports are based solely on U.S. national records.
If you're hosting international travelers or tenants without a U.S. Social Security number, you could request the following to help confirm they can meet your rental terms:
- Bank statements from the past 3–6 months
- References from previous landlords or hosts
- Proof of current employment
