Resource Page
3 of 3. Continue to the main Resources page or Resources 2 when you want additional screening and rental-management articles.
Main Focus
City tenant-screening guides plus practical education about rental decisions, ResidentScore, credit, screening policies, and report review.
Quick Tools
Jump directly to sample credit, criminal, and eviction reports before choosing a SmartScreen package.
Official Guidance
Use FTC, HUD, and CFPB resources when you need federal guidance on consumer reports, Fair Housing, and tenant background checks.
City-Specific Tenant Screening Guides
Local screening rules can differ significantly. These city guides are starting points for landlords who need market-specific screening information. Always verify current state and local law before relying on a local rule, fee limit, criminal-history standard, eviction-record restriction, or source-of-income requirement.
Rental Market and Financial Guides
Tenant screening is only one part of rental-property performance. These resources cover rent strategy, current rental trends, and property-return fundamentals.
ResidentScore and Credit Education
ResidentScore is designed for rental screening and is included with SmartScreen credit reports. Use these resources to understand how the rental-focused score fits with the underlying credit report and broader applicant review.
Tenant Screening Education
Use these guides when you want to move beyond individual report types and build a stronger end-to-end applicant review process.
Sample Reports and Screening Tools
Preview the report format before starting a screening request, then compare SmartScreen’s current package options.
Official Compliance and Consumer-Report Resources
SmartScreen articles are educational. When a decision depends on federal consumer-report or Fair Housing requirements, use current official guidance and check state and local law for the property.

How do I start screening an applicant?
Create a SmartScreen landlord account, enter the property information, and begin the screening workflow that fits your written applicant criteria and legal requirements.
SmartScreen resource pages provide general educational information and are not legal, tax, accounting, financial, or property-management advice. Federal, state, and local screening and landlord-tenant requirements can change. Verify current official requirements for the property before making applicant or tenancy decisions.
