Resident Credit Reports
Gain valuable financial insight as part of your resident screening process.
Resident credit reports provide insight into an applicant’s credit history, payment patterns, outstanding obligations, and other available financial information.
This information can help property managers evaluate an applicant’s financial responsibility and ability to meet rental obligations as part of an established and consistent screening process.
An Important Part of Resident Screening
Credit information is one of several resources property professionals may use when evaluating a residential application. Combined with established rental criteria and other appropriate screening information, it can support a more complete applicant review.
Credit History
Review available credit information to better understand an applicant’s history of managing financial obligations.
Payment Patterns & Obligations
Resident credit reports can provide information about payment patterns, outstanding obligations, and other available financial information relevant to established screening criteria.
Financial Responsibility
Credit information can help property managers evaluate an applicant’s financial responsibility and ability to meet rental obligations.
Look Beyond the Rental Application
A rental application provides information supplied by the applicant about their financial situation. A resident credit report can add independently reported information to the screening process.
When properly obtained and evaluated, credit information can help property professionals identify financial history relevant to their established rental criteria.
POEknows makes credit reporting available as part of a resident screening program customized to the properties, screening criteria, and business needs of the client.
A More Complete Applicant Review
Credit information can provide valuable insight, but it is only one part of resident screening. POEknows offers additional screening resources that can provide a broader view of a prospective resident.
Criminal History Record Searches
Court-level criminal record searches can identify reportable criminal history information as part of an established resident screening process.
Rent Court Reports
Available landlord-tenant court records can provide additional insight into an applicant’s prior rental history.

Resident credit information should be evaluated according to established rental criteria and as part of a consistent applicant-screening process.
Property professionals should establish how credit information will be considered before screening applicants and apply those standards consistently.
