Rent Perfect - An Investigative Screening Company

Another National REIA Strategic Partner Benefit

Rent Perfect is the solution rental property owners  & managers have been crying out for!  Their Online Lease Agreement  allows you to send your tenant(s) a customized lease agreement,  electronically & securely.  They offer the most accurate &  thorough credit & background screening available.  NREIA members  receive a discounted 95¢ set up fee.


If you take tenant screening seriously – and every real estate  investor should – then you need the best tool available to help you  protect your property and get the peace of mind you deserve.


Getting and staying at full occupancy is an important goal for any  real estate and property management business, but not just any renter  will do – you want the perfect tenants for your unit or location.


The best way to find qualified renters is by using a reliable tenant screening tool, along with a comprehensive tenant background check. With the Rent Perfect Connect system, this tenant screening process  is made incredibly easy. Just enter in your applicant’s email address,  and as soon as they complete the necessary paperwork online (even  through their mobile phone) you’ll get instant access to a report with:


  • Full credit check through Experian
  • Prior address history


Even better, within 4 to 6 business hours you’ll get a thorough tenant background check that includes:


  • A thorough and comprehensive report
  • Criminal Record with Convictions (Note: Chicago properties handled differently)
  • Verification by our trained private investigators
  • Customized rental agreement recommendations based on your criteria


With Rent Perfect, screening and  managing tenants couldn’t be easier. When a potential renter says “I’ll  take it” to one of your properties, you simply collect their email  address. We’ll send them an online application, which they can complete  immediately via any computer, tablet, or smart phone. Applicants pay the  $44.95 fee directly to us, and you get instant access to your applicant’s  report, including:

  • Criminal Record
  • Past Evictions
  • Credit History
  • Government Watchlist
  • Sex Offender Registries


In addition to this immediate report, our team of live investigators  will check real-time data in jurisdictions that don’t show up on instant  reports, so you can be sure the profile you’re getting is accurate and  up-to-date.

Once you have found the right renter, just forward them a copy of our  state-specific lease, which they can sign electronically. Then, let  Rent Perfect help you get insurance and collect rent quickly and  affordably over the Internet…
