Understanding the Different Levels of Tenant Screening: Which One is Right for You?

Introduction
Tenant verification isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. Each property and landlord may require a different level of scrutiny, depending on their security needs. Here’s a guide to the types of tenant screening offered by RentSafe and how to choose the best fit for your property.

Levels of Tenant Screening

1. Basic Check: ID Verification
   Suitable for landlords seeking essential identity confirmation. This level includes verification of government IDs such as AADHAAR or PAN, ideal for short-term rentals or when the tenant is already known but needs identity confirmation.

2. Standard Verification: ID, Criminal, and Address Check
   This option is ideal for property owners looking to reduce risks with comprehensive checks. It covers ID verification, criminal record screening, and address verification, ensuring that the tenant’s identity, background, and location history align with their claims.

3. Complete Assurance: Includes Reference Check
   Perfect for long-term rentals, this package includes ID, criminal, address verification, and a reference check. Insights from previous landlords provide assurance that the tenant has a history of responsible renting, making it ideal for high-value or family properties.

4. Premium Verification: Police Verification for Maximum Security
   For those seeking the highest security level, this option includes police verification. It’s recommended for properties where tenants will be living for extended periods, and landlords want a final layer of verification for peace of mind.

Conclusion
Choosing the right tenant screening level depends on your property type, duration of rental, and the level of security desired. RentSafe offers flexible packages to match various landlord needs, allowing you to find the best fit with ease.
