How does online tenant screening work?

All applicants fill out an online rental application with information about their current household makeup, prior residences, contact information and income. Zillow Applications include a credit report from Experian and a background check from CIC. You can review completed applications, including tenant screening reports, in your Rental Manager account.

How do I start accepting tenant applications?

You have the flexibility to either allow any interested renter to apply directly from your listing, or privately invite someone to apply. 

To accept applications from any interested renter, enable the Apply now button on your listing by going to the Applications tab for that property in Rental Manager. Once enabled, all renters can apply directly from your Zillow, Trulia and Hotpads listing by clicking the Apply now button. You’ll receive an email notification when a renter has applied to an enabled property.

You can also privately invite renters to apply using a shareable link without enabling the Apply now button. All completed applications including tenant screening reports will appear under the Applications tab for that property.

 How much does it cost to screen a tenant?

The application and tenant screening reports are free for landlords. Renters pay a $35 application fee, which includes tenant screening reports, and allows them to apply to your listing and an unlimited number of participating rentals for 30 days.

How long do tenant credit and background checks take?

Tenant credit and background checks are included as part of a prospective renter’s application — no additional waiting required.

In some cases, one or both screening reports cannot be completed. Learn about why that might occur for background checks here, and for credit reports here.

Can I screen prospective tenants if leads don’t come from Zillow?

Yes! You can screen any prospective tenant, even if they don’t come from Zillow. To do so, go to the Applications tab for that property in Rental Manager and click the Send application link. Then, you can invite them to apply via an email invitation to kick off the application and screening process.

    I loved using this app before, but it's really not working well now. I sent out invitations to apply, and potential tenants finished their applications. However, I can't open the report even though it appears to be there. Another tenant is having trouble applying too; she keeps getting kicked off. Now we have to switch back to the old paper method and use our local credit bureau for reports. Please fix this issue. I'm sorry for leaving a bad review, but I thought you should know.

    You will see a lot of potential traffic. Definitely take plenty of photos. Great value in connecting with people. Avoid using their application process. It might scare others away from reaching out.

    I have a house available for rent, and the interest has been high. The app's Messages section often fails to show all my conversations. It's frustrating. Missing messages pop up randomly, not just the oldest ones. I end up searching through my emails for those missing parts of the conversation. I want to see replies and my own messages. Interestingly, the website works perfectly fine, but the app is a hassle.

    This app is amazing! It made responding to potential renters on Zillow super easy. My experience was fantastic. I rented out an apartment in just 8 days! I’ll definitely be using this app again.

    Using this was a breeze! I rented my place for the first time without a property manager. It got seven showings and three applications right after listing it. Super exciting experience!

    The process feels simple and clear. Just upload your unit, and it spreads everywhere. Prospective tenants can fill out applications right in the app. You get to see their background checks, credit scores, and employment history all in one place. I haven't used the payment feature yet, but I expect it to be just as easy as everything else.

    Renters really need a simple way to make payments. Many might not want to deal with autopay. An app would solve this issue quickly. It’s all about making things easier for both renters and landlords. Having two options is key! Not everyone wants to depend on just one method. Using the website can feel like a hassle. Sending checks used to work just fine before the management change. Now, it feels complicated. People want convenience without the extra stress!

    Being a landlord has its perks. I enjoy the simplicity of listing and managing potential tenants. The app feature makes everything easier. Zillow provides a standard lease and can even upload my own version. Many young people love using this app, which fits perfectly with my target demographic. It’s affordable and straightforward. I’m completely on board with it.

    Starting with seven rental homes, Zillow has been our go-to for finding tenants over the past five years. It makes sense that it shifted to a fee-based service. The candidate screening feature stands out as a plus. The ability to cross-advertise on sites like Hotpads is also beneficial. On the downside, tracking contacted candidates feels cumbersome. The lack of canned responses can slow things down. The system seems designed for accepting applicants rather than denying them, which is frustrating since most don't meet our minimum standards. The service comes at a cost, and managing multiple applicants through a single point of contact would streamline the process significantly.
