What changes
Tenant screening should feel like a workflow, not a packet of disconnected reports.
Tenant screening software helps property teams collect applications, verify applicants, and review risk signals before leasing. Burnt is built around the actual workflow: configure a package, invite the applicant, guide the renter through completion, then review source-verified income, employment, identity, and partner screening modules in one place.
From invite to decision
One applicant package moves through four visible states.
Send the link, guide the renter, watch the package progress, then review what is ready. The workflow stays visible to the team and understandable to the applicant.

04
Review the package
Source-backed facts, partner report context, criteria, and notes stay connected.
Two sides of one screen
Property teams manage the queue. Renters know exactly what to finish.
The buyer needs operational control, and the applicant needs a path that makes sense on a phone. Burnt keeps those experiences connected.
Operator viewStatus, package criteria, and exception review stay together.
Applicant viewConsent, identity, income, employment, and partner steps stay ordered.
Screening package
Each module answers a different leasing question.
Income, employment, identity, credit, background, and eviction each support a different decision. Burnt keeps the answers in one applicant package.
Income
Can they afford the rent?
Verify income from source systems where available, with fallback context for exceptions.
Employment Is work status current?Bring employment context into the same applicant package without chasing every HR contact.
Identity Is this the applicant?Start with identity and cross-source consistency before the rest of the checks run.
Credit What does credit add?Review partner credit results beside income, identity, criteria, and adverse-action context.
Background What needs review?Keep partner background checks tied to consent, policy context, and the applicant record.
Eviction What rental history matters?Show eviction history in context instead of treating it as a separate report artifact.
Operational payoff
Less chasing. Faster review. A clearer renter experience.
