A Resident Score from a Tenant Screening is a type of credit score used to evaluate rental applicants based on their credit history, payment history, credit utilization, credit availability, and credit score inquiries. It ranges from 350 to 850 and places special emphasis on credit behaviors that are statistically linked to a person’s ability to pay rent on time.
Unlike traditional credit scores, a Resident Score is tailored for landlords and property managers to help them make more informed leasing decisions.
Resident Score Ranges
Here’s how Resident Scores are typically categorized:
- 350-559: Poor
-
560 to 659: Fair
-
660 to 724: Good
-
725 to 759: Very Good
-
760 to 850: Excellent
If you’re a landlord or property manager using KeyCheck to screen tenants, this score offers a quick way to assess rental risk based on verified credit data.
For applicants, a higher Resident Score may improve your chances of approval and demonstrate a history of strong financial responsibility.
