TotalVerify from Equifax Reviews & Insights

We use Equifax to verify tenants' details before signing a tenancy agreement with them. Equifax will go through their details in the database it has and will provide us with the data if the person is involved in any criminal actions and if they have been blacklisted by any of the property managers in the past. These details will help us in trusting the person and allowing them to stay on our premises.

Suppose you are a property manager and would like to verify your tenants' details. In that case, Equifax is one of the most popular and commonly used id verification or background check software that is suggested to use. Cost wise every check is about $13 but it is worth paying the money and getting the tenants verified rather than having the wrong tenants on the property.

Our multifamily real estate organization utilizes Equifax reports as a part of its overall application process through another third party vendor. Equifax Verification screens potential rental applicants for credit and criminal background history, and the results are then qualified with a score that assesses an overall rental profile for the applicant. Equifax is utilized across our multi-state rental portfolio on every application.

Equifax Verification is best suited to our needs in our rental application process, whereby applicants 18 years of age and older are required to submit to a credit and background check in order to assess their application. This is in conjunction with following all applicable local, state and federal fair housing regulations, which Equifax does a great job in following, as well.
