Will this affect my credit score?

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.
