Easy online rental application
Invite your tenant to complete an online rental application and quickly collect their personal details, employment info, proof of income documents, references, and credit check consent.
US National Criminal Check
The US National Criminal Check includes SSN Trace, National Criminal Record Database Check, National Sex Offender Registry Check, and Global Sanctions and Terrorist Watchlist, with a 7-year look-back period.
Social media insights
Each Tenant Report includes a scan of publicly available social media profiles, allowing you to compare results with tenant-provided details and verify important aspects like employment history from LinkedIn.
Income document analysis
PDF files provided on the rental application are scanned for signs of tampering. Key details are extracted and automatically checked against the information provided on the rental application.

We provide nationwide coverage across all 50 U.S. states and Canada. For the U.S., we currently provide our Tenant Reports and Rent Guarantee Program. The Rent Collection tool is currently unavailable.
Option 1: INVITE TENANT
Email a tenant the application form to collect their information. The tenant then fills out their information and gives consent to run the credit report. We then run the report and notify you when it’s ready.
Option 2: ENTER TENANT INFORMATION
If you have the tenant’s information and their consent, you can enter the tenant’s information and get the results back within 5 minutes. To run the report, you will need the tenant’s legal name, address, and date of birth.
As of November 2024, both credit bureaus, TransUnion and Equifax, have classified rental credit checks as soft checks. This means our Tenant Screening Report will not appear as an inquiry on a tenant’s credit file. It will also not affect a tenant’s credit score, even if they are screened multiple times in a short time period. This will apply retroactively to any rental check that was done in the past two years. As a soft check, the credit inquiry will no longer show up for lenders on the credit report. However, a rental applicant will see the inquiry on their MyEquifax portal.
The public documents scan is a real-time public document search of over 200,000 databases looking for criminal records, court decisions, past evictions, negative press, social media profiles, public biographies, past employment and more.

“Professional and reliable services. I live in the US and was struggling to run a background check on someone from Canada. So grateful I found SingleKey.”
“In addition to doing it all on my own, I've tried several other tenant screening services in the past. SingleKey has been the best! They are a real timesaver in my busy day. The ease of letting the tenant complete the application, the choice of who pays, the comprehensive and detailed report, and the referral rating system for the tenant's references - FIVE STARS SingleKey. You make my life easier and give me the ability to rent with confidence.”
“SingleKey was easy for me as a Landlord to use, and was great for my applicants as they did not have to worry about providing their details directly to me. The cost is totally reasonable and I intend to use this for all my future tenant screening.”
“I’ve used SingleKey numerous times on different rental properties I have. Not only did it help me pick out good tenants, I avoided picking a certain disaster tenant. The reports are very thorough and give a ton of information. SingleKey is a MUST for all landlords for their screening process. You can’t beat the assurance for the low cost of a report!”
