Since 1976, RENTCHECK — a wholly Canadian-owned and operated company — has served numerous Canadian and American housing providers of all sizes, helping them make the best applicant decisions.

Nearly half a century of real-world experience has taught us that most housing provider losses arise from poor or incomplete initial applicant screening; we help you screen the right way, first time, every time!

As partners with Equifax and TransUnion for more than 30 years, we are your leading industry source for Credit Reports — Consumer and Business (including company Principals), English and French, Canadian and American, and now Global Credit Reports from more than 230 countries.

Decades before Credit Reports became available for background screening, Rentcheck pioneered the development of authentic Rental History.

Today Rental History helps housing providers identify good applicants despite having low credit scores. Our Members can report payment patterns, lease and by-law compliance, etc., at no charge 24/7 and also recognize consistent on-time and in-full housing cost payments through yearly Gold Star Renter designations.

Housing providers can also report legal / judicial decisions to Rentcheck 24/7 at no charge; we forward information directly to Equifax and/or TransUnion. 

For deeper screening, Rentcheck provides an affordable National and Enhanced Criminal Background Report bundle, with the option of adding a Canadian Police Seal certifying the accuracy of report contents. We also now offer Canadian Provincial Driving Records.

Among our many loss-recovery and risk-reduction tools is PeopleSearch, which rapidly analyzes millions of online records to find current contact data for individuals you are trying to locate.

With Rentcheck, there’s no waiting — most online reports are received in under 2 seconds, 24/7.

We continue to enhance our online customer experience through leading-edge technology and digital security features, including online rental applications, identity verification, and more. And we can interface seamlessly with any property management software. 

Rentcheck believes in the timeless value of customer service. There are real people behind all of our products and services.

Whenever you have questions or concerns that our website or product listings don’t answer, we’re here to help!
