Tenant Screening

Every tenant has a story. Just don't expect to read everyone like an open book.


Unqualified rental decisions could end up costing your properties thousands of dollars in landlord/tenant legal actions, turnover costs, and bad debt write-offs.

Our tenant screening solutions can help with multi-family properties and student housing (we serve more than 100 area colleges and universities nationwide). We also offer back-end debt collection services through our sister company BYL Collection Services.
