Follow these steps to order a Full Background Check + Credit Report for a tenant.

1. Navigate to the Screening Page

  • Select "Screen Tenant" to begin.

2. Select Screening Only

  • Click "Get Started" under Screening Only.

3. Choose the Rental Property

  • Select the property you want to screen for.

4. Select Payment Option & Screening Type

Some states are restricted to Landlord Pay only to comply with application/screening fee restrictions.

5. Enter Business Contact Information

  • Check the box to agree to RentPrep's Terms and Conditions.

The Business Contact is only required for your first order and will be saved for future orders.

Each applicant needs their own email address. Email addresses cannot be shared.

  • Click Send Request!

For Landlord Pay, you will be asked for your credit card information in this step. An authorization hold will be placed initially, and the full charge will be processed once the applicant accepts and completes the request.

8. Order Confirmation & Application Invitation

  • You will receive an email confirmation of your order.

  • The applicant will receive an email invitation within minutes from hello@tenant.stessa.com

  • If the applicant does not receive the email, instruct them to check their junk/spam folder.
