Criminal background and eviction checks powered by CIC reports — paid by the applicant. Zero cost to landlords and property managers.
The $15 screening fee is paid entirely by the renter/applicant during their application. Property managers and landlords never pay for screening. This applicant-paid model ensures you only receive applications from serious, qualified renters who are invested in the process. The fee covers both CIC reports: criminal background and eviction history.
Two comprehensive reports give you what you need to make informed rental decisions
National criminal database search, sex offender registry check, global sanctions, and county-level records. Know who you're renting to with comprehensive background checks.
Housing court records and eviction history search. Identify applicants with prior evictions, unlawful detainer actions, or landlord-tenant disputes before signing a lease.
The $15 screening fee is paid by the applicant during their application. No cost to property managers or landlords. Only serious applicants will complete the screening.
Most reports complete within minutes. Some state-specific criminal searches may take 24-48 hours. You're notified via email when results are ready to review in your dashboard.
A simple 4-step process from application to informed decision
Send applicants a link to apply for your property. They complete the application form with personal info, household details, rental history, income, and employment.
At the final step, the applicant authorizes the screening and pays the $15 fee. This covers the criminal background and eviction reports. You pay nothing.
CIC runs the criminal background and eviction (housing court) searches against the applicant's information. No extra steps for the applicant.
