Step 6: Enter Applicant Information.

Enter the first, middle, last name, and email address of each applicant. Use the + button to add co-applicants – and be sure to indicate if any co-applicant is a co-signer by selecting the Co-Signer toggle, then select Continue.

Be sure to enter the complete middle name of all applicants. If they don’t have a middle name, be sure to check the box by the middle name field.

Step 7: Select Payment Option.

Decide whether you would like to pay for the tenant screening report, or if the applicant(s) should (applicant pay option is available with the Premium package only), then select ‘submit'.

If you decide to pay the fee yourself, enter your credit card information to continue. Your card will be charged as soon as the tenant reports are available.
