What are you using for tenant screening providers these days?
Tenant Screening Services
- Thread starter Bryon Howard
- Start date
www.rentcheck.ca is $24 and www.tenantverification.ca is $21 ... what's your experience?
tenantverification
but they are only okay, I haven't tried anything better. They did not flag a potential tenant for using a fake middle name and missing fraud charges that we uncovered down the road that should have been in the report.

Free credit checks, photo ID and a photo of any pets are required and captured in the report.
Notice to tenant- it’s form that your tenant fills out that give you permission to report their monthly payments to the credit bureau (equafax I believe). This is done through the tenant verification services website.
If they don’t sign the form I don’t rent to them. It’s a great filter

In BC you can check by going to CSO - Court Services Online through the government: https://justice.gov.bc.ca/cso/esearch/civil/partySearch.do
Completely agree. Naborly is what I use to and it’s been a great tool for screening tenants.

I should clarify that the Notice to Tenant tool is apart of the Tenant Verification Services, at www.landlordcreditbureau.ca and it is free to use.
Also the CEO, Merv spoke at a YYC REIN Meeting late 2017 or early 2018 and spoke of possibly starting to pay landlords to report the monthly payment habits of tenants. Not sure where this is at now though.
Phone in to TVS and tell them you're a REIN Member, you'll get ~50% discount on the services. Dropping the credit check from $21 to $11 if you still want to use them.
I use TVS, and REIN members do indeed get a discount. But we go a lot further than that.
I did a couple of REIN presentations last year on screening and fraud detection. Perhaps you'd like to check them out in the "back office." Sorry, but I can't remember which months. (Help me, Tina?)
Also, I recently wrote a report on tenant screening: The Most Critical Mistake Landlords Make... Please check it out. I appreciate all feedback.

I wanted to share the links to the meeting Sherilyn Milsom was a presenter. I highly suggest you going through her presentation. She is an expert on tenancy in Alberta. She delves deeper into tenant applications, screening and reference checks. She will help you explore all of the available resources in the tenant screening toolkit. Together you will walk through a detailed case study of an attempted fraud by an applicant – get ready to start sleuthing and make your way through this web of deception. Log into you Member Back office and click HERE.
I loved it!!!!
Hmmm, I tried to access the presentation using the link and it brings me to the right place, but there are no files?
Did you log in? Call me for help.
