MySmartrenter

As a renter, you need to protect yourself before you apply, sharing our personal information to a stranger and pay. Now you can check the landlord's background first. It's instant, confidential.

That apartment may look perfect, but do you know who you’re sending your money and personal information to?

Rental scams and bad rental experiences can cost renters thousands of dollars, expose them to identity theft, and turn the search for a home into a stressful nightmare.

MySmartRenter.com helps renters do their own confidential due diligence before they:
• Pay an application fee or security deposit
• Send money to a potential landlord
• Share personal information or identification
• Meet a landlord in person
• Sign a lease

Our national landlord-screening reports work like a Carfax-style check for your rental decision, helping students, families, and professionals identify potential red flags before moving forward.

Don’t wait until something goes wrong.

Screen the landlord's background first. Protect your identity. Verify the rental is real.

If you wouldn't buy a used car without seeing the history/Carfax, why would you not want to know the background of who you rent or may rent from. Every time you fill out an application, you're providing a stranger your personal info and risk ID-theft or a scam. Be safe, prevention is your best protection.

If you rent, you deserve to know your landlord's background as a safety precaution. MySmartRenter pioneered the first instant, confidential, national landlord background-screening system created specifically for renters.
