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 need to enter a valid U.S. Social Security number and other personal information directly into TransUnion SmartMove’s secure system. You’ll also verify your identity and give TransUnion permission to share your credit, criminal, and eviction reports with the landlord. Your Social Security number will not be shared with the landlord.
If you don’t have a valid U.S. Social Security number, TransUnion cannot process the screening. We recommend reaching out to the landlord to see if another screening option is available.
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.
