Why do a background check?
Background checks are a lawful way to ensure you find tenants with a history of paying bills on time. TenantCheck protects people's privacy while protecting your investment.
Property is a significant investment. With risks associated with rent arrears, damages, and insurance obligations, a thorough check is essential.
Meet your insurance obligations
Many insurers require landlords to complete background and credit checks on tenants. The Full Check meets these obligations with comprehensive coverage across Equifax, Centrix, and Experian.
