How Screening Works

Two ways to screen your next tenant

Every rental application on Porcher runs through the same trusted credit, criminal, eviction, and identity screening.

Credit reports are protected. Only landlords and property managers who have verified their identity with a government ID and a live selfie match can view an applicant's credit report. Learn about screening safeguards.

Application Link Only

Already know the property? Skip the listing and share a simple application form link instead.

Manual Screening

Already have a tenant in mind? Enter what you know, pay the $50 screening fee yourself, and we invite them to finish the rest.

FAQ

Common questions about rental applications

How do I create a rental application link?

From your Porcher dashboard, go to Applications > Application Link, enter the property address, and Porcher generates a shareable link you can text or email to any prospective tenant — no published listing required.

What's the difference between an application link and manual screening?

An application link is a shareable application form for a specific property; manual screening is for when you already know who you're renting to and want to start their background check yourself.
