There are two ways to process a screen/credit report.
1) Send a Pendo digital rental application. By indicating you wish to run a screen, the birthdate and SIN/SSN questions will be added to the rental application. We use Certn, a 3rd party applicant screening service. They require these unique identifiers to pull a credit report from Equifax. The Pendo rental application includes a disclaimer stating that a credit report may be run on prospective tenants:
Consent
By submitting this rental application, I hereby certify that the information in this application is true. I authorize all my references as listed in this application to release information regarding employment and past or current tenancies. I consent to the Landlord obtaining credit, personal and employment information on me from reporting agencies and from other sources of such information. #
2) If you choose to upload your own application, we will need to request consent from your tenant to ensure they are aware you are running a credit report. This is to comply with privacy laws. If you have collected your tenants birthdate and SIN/SSN, Pendo will only require the tenant to sign a consent form that is kept on file in your account.
