Review the applicant's credit score, accounts, payment history, utilization, collections, charge-offs, and bankruptcies when reported.
Tenant Screening Reports
What shows up on a tenant screening report?
A Porcher tenant screening report can include a credit report and score, criminal background results, eviction history, and identity verification. Landlords review the available results alongside the rental application; Porcher does not make the approval decision for them.
Report Contents
Four checks in one applicant view
Criminal background check
Review available criminal-history results returned by the screening provider rather than relying on a simple pass-or-fail label.
Eviction history check
See available eviction filings and records associated with the applicant so you can review them in context.
Identity verification
Confirm the applicant's identity through a government ID and live selfie match before relying on the report.
Credit Details
More than a single score
Credit information may include open accounts, account age, payment history, credit utilization, collections, charge-offs, and bankruptcies. Review the details in context rather than treating one number as the whole application.

Identity verification comes first
The connected landlord or property manager must verify their own identity with a government ID and live selfie match before viewing an applicant's credit report. Read the Tenant Screening & FCRA Policyfor permissible-purpose and adverse-action responsibilities.
Using the Report
The landlord makes the rental decision
Porcher organizes application and screening information for review. Landlords remain responsible for applying consistent criteria and following federal, state, and local requirements, including the FCRA and fair housing laws.
