Tenant Screening Costs

Thorough tenant screening protects against problem tenants and typically costs $30-$75 per applicant.

Components

  • Credit check: TransUnion, Experian, or Equifax report ($20-$40)
  • Background check: Criminal history search ($15-$30)
  • Eviction check: Court records for prior evictions ($5-$15)
  • Income verification: Employment and income confirmation (often free)

    • Recovering Costs

    Landlords may charge application fees to offset screening costs, subject to local law limits.

    Exemple Résolu

    5 applicants screened at $25 credit + $20 background + $10 eviction, with $50 application fee charged.

    1. Cost per applicant: $25 + $20 + $10 = $55
    2. Total screening cost: $55 x 5 = $275
    3. Application fees collected: $50 x 5 = $250
    4. Net screening cost: $275 - $250 = $25
