Updated today

RentPrep offers three base screening options:

  • Complete Screening Package ($49) – Includes a TransUnion Full Credit Report + RentPrep Background Check (Nationwide Criminal, Evictions, Judgments & Liens). Requires the applicant’s name and email. The credit report generates within minutes after applicant verification, while the background check is processed by FCRA-certified screeners within 1-2 business hours. You'll receive an email when each report is complete.

  • Credit Report Only ($29) – Provides a TransUnion Full Credit Report without the background check. This requires the applicants name and email address. The applicant will receive an email to complete an identity verification. Once verified, the report will be complete. You will receive an email once the report is complete and ready to review.

  • Background Check Only ($29) – Includes Nationwide Criminal, Evictions, Judgments, Liens & Bankruptcies. Requires the applicant’s SSN, DOB, full name, current address, and phone number.
