TENANT SCREENING PRICING

Pre-Qualify Your Applicant In 10 Minutes Or Less Or Your Money Back!

TruDiligence offers a variety of searches to expedite your tenant screening process in an ala carte fashion. Unlike many of the corporate screening giants that sell their services in a “Package” form, TruDiligence suggests that you purchase our services in a “Tiered” form. This turns out to be more equitable for our clients because it eliminates running unnecessary searches on applicants who may have been disqualified by an earlier stage search.

For example, if you are interested in running a Residence History, Credit Report, Criminal History and Employment Verification, complete it as follows:

1.Run the Residence History first, by itself. The turnaround time is less than 10 minutes and will allow you to validate the information provided by the applicant before continuing with any further searches. Given that 37% of applicants admit to falsifying information on their application, it is a waist of time and money to order any further searches if the applicant has provided inaccurate information. Imagine the savings if 37% of your applicants might be disqualified in Tier 1 with a cost of $3.00 and more alarmingly, imagine the liability associated with running searches using incorrect information, 37% of the time.
2.Once the Residence History has been validated, order the Credit Report and require your Credit Reports have a credit score included on them. TruDiligence recommends that you establish written minimum guidelines that each applicant must meet in order to be approved onto the next stage. If your credit guideline happens to be a credit score of at least 600, and the credit score comes back less than 600, then you know your applicant is going to be denied and there is no need to waist time and money on a criminal history and employment verification. The turnaround time on Credit Reports is also less than 10 minutes so Tier 1 and Tier 2 can both be completed in less than 20 minutes.
3.If your applicant has cleared Tier 1 and Tier 2, now you can continue by ordering the Criminal History, Employment Verification, Landlord Verification or any other search you may desire, knowing that you are working with valid search parameters and money that is well spent.

When conducting a pre-screen background investigation, a criminal history is of utmost importance.  These searches are typically placed in two main categories: arrest records and court records.  The use of each category has its strengths and weaknesses, so it is important for you to evaluate what you are trying to achieve to determine which is best for your application.

Court records are typically housed within the courthouse at the county level.  To simplify the system, each county jurisdiction is typically broken into three levels.  The first and highest level is the district court, sometimes referred to as superior court.  At this level you will generally find most felony cases.

The second level  is the county court.  At this level you will find most serious misdemeanor cases.

The lowest level is the municipal court, sometimes referred to as city court.  At this level you will typically find most minor misdemeanors and petty offenses.  Usually cases where the individual was simply issued a summons to appear in court.

When conducting a Court Record Search, TruDiligence will always search the first and second level courts, where available.  Municipal courts can be searched, but are considered a special request and will involve an additional charge.

Although TruDiligence always recommends a county-by-county courthouse search when conducting court record searches, in some states; we have the ability to conduct simultaneous  multi-county searches.  These statewide court record searches typically examine independent databanks that compile county records into a statewide index.  These broader searches help you keep the search costs down; however, sometimes the information contained in them is limited.  It is important to realize that if you choose to utilize the statewide court record system and the case file is incomplete, additional research costs may be required to complete the information.

County court record searches are $12.00 per name, per county jurisdiction searched.  Prices may vary in some jurisdictions. Less than 1% of the counties charge court imposed fees on all records ordered.  These fees are billed over and above the record retrieval costs.  Contact us for a detailed listing of counties with extra costs.

TruDiligence does not warrant nor endorse using a National Index as your only source of checking criminal records or maintaining FCRA compliance. A National Index search should only be used as a cursory search to supplement your local research practices.

Pricing is on a per name searched basis.

This is a nationwide search for outstanding warrants on a subject.  The warrant must be active and the jurisdiction must be willing to extradite the subject on the charges in order for the warrant to show on this search.  In most cases, this search will return the date the warrant was issued and by which jurisdiction.  The charge or crime for which the warrant was issued typically will not be provided.  A subsequent search of criminal records may be necessary to gain this information.  This search is priced on a per name basis.
RESIDENCE HISTORY

The applicant’s social security number is traced through a vast resource of over 400 data sources and provides a listing of the names and addresses linked to the applicant’s social security.  This extremely useful tool is imperative in uncovering any additional names, aliases or addresses that the applicant may have utilized, but chose not to reveal during the application process.  Furthermore, when combined with a criminal history, the social security trace is invaluable in making sure all known names and jurisdictions are encompassed while conducting the search.

Secondly, the trace will validate the year and state in which the Social Security Administration issued the number.  This information can be useful in uncovering potentially fraudulent social security numbers.
SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY

STATE LEVEL ARREST RECORDS
For a printer-friendly pricing and turnaround schedule in Adobe PDF format:

When conducting a pre-screen background investigation, a criminal history is of utmost importance.  These searches are typically placed in two main categories: arrest records and court records.  The use of each category has its strengths and weaknesses, so it is important for you to evaluate what you are trying to achieve to determine which is best for your application.

Arrest records are usually housed at the state level in a databank maintained by the governing judicial body within each state.  Many of these systems are fingerprint driven, meaning that when an individual is arrested and fingerprinted, those fingerprints are submitted to the state databank for tracking purposes.  The records that are subsequently pulled outline an individual’s arrest record based on those fingerprint submissions.

Additionally, it is important to realize that if an illegible fingerprint card is submitted, the state will return it to be redone.  Unfortunately, by then the subject may have already been released from custody and is not available to be re-fingerprinted.  Subsequently, there will not be a record of this arrest in the system.

The primary disadvantage to most arrest record systems is they do not contain disposition information on the charges.  This means that you will not know if the person was convicted of the crime for which he were arrested.  However, using arrest records can also be an advantage.  The arrest record in itself may show a pattern that could pose a potential concern depending on the position for which your applicant is applying.  This pattern could be critically important, regardless of whether a conviction was entered, depending on the position your trying to fill.

Finally, statewide records are not available in all states and some states have lengthy turnaround times which may cause their use to be ineffective for your purposes.  Therefore it is imperative that you determine if arrest records will best suit your needs.  All criminal searches are per name, per jurisdiction searched.

Important Note: Statewide records should only be used as a cursory review of applicant's record. TruDiligence does not recommend the use of Statewide records as a means of promoting due diligence in hiring practices or maintaining compliance with The Fair Credit Reporting Act.  County level courthouse records are recommended for this purpose.

Statewide records are not available in all states as some states restrict access to their statewide databases to law enforcement personnel only.  The states currently available are listed with their respective prices and are priced on a per name basis.  The turnaround times quoted are averages and may vary depending on state backlog, therefore they cannot be guaranteed.
