The terms and conditions outlined below are to apply between Single-Key Inc. (“SingleKey”, “We”, “Our”, or “Us” herein), and any Landlord, Tenant, and/or other User (collectively addressed as “You”, “Landlord”, “Tenant” or “User” herein) who accesses or utilizes aspects of SingleKey’s platform. Your continued engagement with SingleKey’s Rental Guarantee Program, Background and Credit Check Report, or Tenant Rent Guarantee Program (collectively addressed as “SingleKey Services” herein) indicates that you have read, understood and agreed to be subject to the Terms and Conditions outlined below. Additionally, you acknowledge and agree that you have been made aware of and agree to any documents included by incorporation, including SingleKey’s Privacy Policy, and all other applicable laws, statutes and/or regulations that may be applicable. These terms apply to Users who interact with SingleKey’s Services (including but not limited to the SingleKey Credit and Background check, Rent Guarantee program, Rent Collection, and Pre-screening) as well as any other services offered through SingleKey’s Website, https://www.singlekey.com/ (“Website” herein).
SingleKey maintains the right to change, evolve, modify, alter, enhance, remove or supplement its services, and by extension, these terms and conditions at any time without notice. A User’s continued use of SingleKey Services and the Website, constitutes acceptance of these terms and conditions.
SingleKey offers a variety of services including SingleKey Rent Guarantee program, Credit and Background check report (“Report” herein), Pre-screening forms, and SingleKey Rent Collection. The terms and conditions surrounding these services are outlined below.
SingleKey’s Report includes data inputted by the User as well as data from Third-Party Reporting Agencies (including, but not specifically limited to data from credit bureaus for credit history, government agencies, police agencies, news publications, public court databases, social media, verification of your education, employment history, etc). Private information is collected and distributed in accordance with applicable Canadian privacy legislation including The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA herein, https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/P-8.6/page-1.html), B.C. Personal Information Protection Act (B.C. PIPA herein, https://www.bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/document/id/complete/statreg/03063_01), and A.B. Personal Information Protection Act (A.B. PIPA herein, https://open.alberta.ca/publications/p06p5).
Included in the Report is a background check. This information is sourced from third party suppliers and is not collected directly by SingleKey. Additionally, the User understands that the court document scan included in the Report is a scan of public records only, and is not to be interpreted as being the same as an RCMP, FBI or local court record check. Ordering a Report on an applicant does appear as an inquiry on their credit file, however, it does not have a significant impact on the applicant’s credit score.
Enter Tenant Information
A Landlord is required to obtain written consent before they can order a Report . Proof of express consent is demonstrated to SingleKey when the User selects “YES” on our Website. Proof of consent can be requested at any time by SingleKey or SingleKey partners. Should a Landlord fail to provide proof of consent or any other requested documents at the time of request, SingleKey maintains the right to block, or un-verify Landlord’s User account.
Invite Tenant
Personal data submitted to SingleKey via the “Invite Tenant” method constitutes “express consent” by the prospective Tenant providing the information for SingleKey to produce a Report.
Final Product
Payment is required to process and complete an applicant’s request for a Report. All payments are made through a third party processor. Any report purchased by a User will remain in the Users account for up to ninety (90) days. After ninety (90) days, the report will be removed from the Account. Should a User need to access an old report, please contact info@singlekey.com. The final product is made available for viewing through the User’s Account on our Website. The SingleKey score and credit score provided on the Report are intended to act in a predictive manner and as a guiding tool and not as a final decision.
For the purposes of the Report, the Tenant verifies that all information provided in their application is accurate to the best of their knowledge. The Tenant also hereby grants SingleKey, the Landlord, Landlord’s agent, representative or property manager express but revocable permission to view your Report and perform any due diligence necessary (at their discretion), including but not limited to contacting references, or verifying proof of income. By providing consent, potential applicants authorize SingleKey, and SingleKey’s Third-Party Reporting Agencies to access personal information to generate a Report. The applicant consents to the use, collection and controlled disclosure of their personal information including rental, court, employment, banking and financial history in accordance with SingleKey’s Privacy Policy. Any misrepresentation constitutes valid legal grounds for rejection of a Tenant’s application by either a Landlord or SingleKey.

The Payor undertakes to inform SingleKey or the Payee, in writing, of any change to their account information provided in the authorization agreement prior to the next due date of the PAD. The Payor hereby acknowledges his/her understanding, acceptance and participation in a PAD plan, that has certain recourse rights if any debit does not comply with this agreement. For example, the Payor has the right to receive reimbursement for any transaction that is not authorized or is not consistent with this PAD Agreement.

The Sponsor reserves the right to correct clerical or typographical errors in promotional materials or these Official Rules.
