Three Tenant Screening Options for Landlords in Seattle

by Matt Warmack on January 12, 2012

You are going to rent out your home or condo.  Besides having a great lease, you need to screen your tenants.  Here are three great options I’ve discovered in my own rentals and working with investor clients.

SmartMove by TransUnion : www.mysmartmove.com

  • Online for both the landlord & tenant

Washington Landlord Association : www.walandlord.com

  • Great research – you should be a member of this non-profit!
  • $15 tenant screenings!

Rental Research Inc. : www.researchinc.net

  • Great local, Federal Way company with friendly & experienced staff

I use MyScreeningReport.com and LOVE IT!  Sounds similar to Smartmove (above), but found that it also includes Eviction information, which I thought very important.

I also use their free forms – http://www.moco-inc.com/resources_state.asp

They are also local to Seattle
