MatchBook Renter Verification: Save Money and Time on Your Rental Applications

TL;DR:

• Your Verification includes a credit range, criminal, and eviction check
• Your Renter Verification Report is reusable for 3 months
• During that time, you can apply to any property on our platform and your report will automatically be included with your application
• One-time $25 fee

Growing up during the 2008 financial crisis, my parents taught me a few tricks to save a couple bucks here and there. One of them was always double-checking the receipt before leaving the store. People make mistakes, and sometimes you get charged twice for something, and nobody likes getting double charged.

Unfortunately, for a lot of renters, getting charged twice or more for a background check is just normal.

In competitive rental markets, it's common to pay $50 or more just to apply. That application fee is supposed to cover your credit, criminal, and eviction check. But what if you're applying to more than one place? You pay again. Same background check. Same data. Another fee. That’s a waste.

That's where MatchBook Renter Verification comes in.

With your permission, we'll pull your background screening report: credit, eviction, and criminal history. You get to review the full report, make sure it's accurate, and once you're good with it, we include it with every application you send through MatchBook.

It's reusable for 3 months. No extra fees. No repeat charges. Just one verified renter profile you can use again and again.

Getting MatchBook Verified shows landlords you're serious, qualified, and ready. It only costs 25 bucks, which is about half of what you'd normally pay for a screening report.

This isn't some big money-maker. It's like the Costco rotisserie chicken. Affordable, high quality, and just makes sense.
