On Target Launches Applicant Resident Screening for Owners and Managers of Rental Properties

Resident screening services designed to help rental owners and managers make more informed resident screening decisions when choosing residents and confidently fill vacancies quicker.

(PRWEB) June 1, 2009 -- Choosing new residents can be one of the biggest challenges facing Property Owners and Managers. On Target Screening, Inc. announced a new resident screening service that enables property owners and managers with one to several hundred units to screen rental applicants.

OnTargetScreening.com offers an Internet-based resident and tenant screening service designed to meet the unique rental applicant selection needs of the independent rental owner or multi-family apartment manager. The easy-to-use online resident screening service quickly produces a leasing recommendation based on the rental applicant's retail credit report, address history, eviction history and criminal background check. This resident screening service is designed to help rental owners and managers make more informed decisions when choosing residents and confidently fill vacancies quicker.

"On Target Screening recognized that property owners and managers needed accurate and efficient resident screening tools to control their risk and comply with Fair Housing and Fair Credit Reporting guidelines," said Ron Bailey, CTO of On Target. "Most importantly, they want information they can understand. The leasing recommendation is helpful in interpreting the many interacting variables one should consider when approving new residents. Our resident screening service, customized specifically to their needs, facilitates an objective resident selection process in seconds."

How On Target resident screening works

-- The property owner or manager registers online at www.OnTargetScreening.com and receives a password that is used to log onto a secure web site.

-- Users may choose resident screening report packages for a broad range of services or select individual resident screening reports.

-- The user enters a few simple items from the rental application and then clicks "Submit."

-- In less than a minute, On Target processes the transaction and delivers a leasing recommendation as well as selected reports for quick decision-making.

Resident screening fees range from $8 for a simple social security fraud check to $34.95 for a complete credit, evictions, social security fraud, rental and criminal search background check.

On Target's online resident screening services are based on a retail credit scoring model using credit history, demographics, prior rental history and local landlord/tenant laws. The model uses those indicators that were found to be most highly predictive and provides a highly accurate assessment that is fully compliant with Fair Housing and Fair Credit requirements.
