What Is a Tenant Screening Request?

Furnished Finder partners with TransUnion SmartMove to offer Tenant Screening services that help landlords make informed rental decisions. Creating a Furnished Finder traveler account does not require identity verification during sign-up.

If you receive a Tenant Screening Request, it means the landlord is interested in renting to you and has requested additional screening information. To complete the request, you'll securely provide your information directly to TransUnion SmartMove and authorize the release of your screening reports. As part of this process, TransUnion may ask you to answer identity authentication questions to help protect your information before releasing your credit, criminal, and eviction history.

Learn more about what a Tenant Screening is or visit our Tenant Screening Troubleshooting Help article if you're running into issues completing your screening.

What's included in the results?

  • Credit history (via a soft pull that will not impact your credit score)
  • Criminal background
  • Eviction history

If your landlord sent your tenant screening request through KeyCheck, you'll need to complete the screening in KeyCheck. We are transitioning the screening experience to Furnished Finder, so landlords and tenants can manage screening requests and reports in one place.
