This is a type of credit score that is specifically designed for tenant screening services from TransUnion. Here are some reasons that a TransUnion ResidentScore is the way to go:
- The ResidentScore uses, at a minimum, the same information that's factored for a FICO Score or any other credit score.
- The ResidentScore analyzes resident records and uses additional rental data tailored for resident screening and rental history, so it’s a better predictor of rental outcomes.
- Traditional credit scores are used to predict the outcome of a loan, not rental performance.
- The ResidentScore is designed specifically for tenant verification by TransUnion.
- The ResidentScore uses a traditional 350-850 range, so it’s easy to interpret.
Tenant screening reports expire after 30 days. This is in accordance with TransUnion regulations to protect the applicant's data. For this reason, we allow you to print or save tenant screening reports as a PDF within those 30 days. Learn more about successful tenant screening for real estate agents and landlords.
