FAQ: Why do I have to pay for credit reports when reusing a screening that only needs income verification?

Reusable screening reports are designed to be compatible with all possible rental applications on Tenalet. When you select the reusable option, the system automatically includes both income verification and credit reports (the full package), regardless of what your current landlord requires.

This is because:

  • Different landlords have different screening requirements

  • Some require only income verification, others require both income and a credit report & score

  • To ensure your report can be reused across any property, it must include all screening components

  • If you only paid for income verification, you wouldn't be able to reuse that report for a landlord who requires a credit report & score.

So even if the landlord only needs income verification, you need to pay for credit reports to enable the reusable screening package.
