What's in the report

Credit report by Equifax

Every Tenant Report includes a full credit report powered by Equifax. This includes the credit score and a full credit report—one of the best indicators of a tenant’s financial status and payment history.

Social media check/scan

Get a thorough analysis of your tenant’s public social media accounts. SingleKey doesn’t access or collect any information published on private profiles.

Public documents scan

We look through over 200,000 databases from 240+ countries for criminal records, court decisions, negative press, public biographies, past employment, past addresses and more.

Income & employment verification

In addition to employment info from Equifax, tenants are asked to provide employment references and to upload proof of income (e.g. recent pay stubs) when completing our online rental application.
