NRLA credit checks can build a picture of previous tenant behaviour by finding address history and bad credit history. With this detailed information you can then judge what the applicant will be like as a tenant. Members using the service have access to NRLA telephone support during office hours.
The results of the credit check will provide you with a gauge score for the applicant. You can use the score to help you make a decision on whether to proceed with their application.
