Short answer
What is applicant-friendly tenant screening?
Applicant-friendly tenant screening reduces friction while preserving operator confidence. Burnt gives renters a guided flow for consent, identity, income, employment, and partner checks, with less back-and-forth over PDFs.
Screening workflow
The whole flow fits on one line.
Create the package, send the link, guide the renter, review the result. That simple path keeps screening understandable for applicants and manageable for teams.
Review the request
They see the requested steps before consenting and completing the flow.
Connect sources
Where available, income and employment are verified from source systems instead of uploads.
Know what is next
Status, fallback, and support paths are clearer than a pile of email attachments.
Product jobs
Clear work for the team. Clear steps for the renter.
The point is not just to run checks. The product has to help the buyer start screening, help the applicant finish, and help the reviewer understand what is ready.
Applicant does
Opens the property link, reviews the requested steps, consents, and completes identity or source connections in a guided flow.
Burnt guides
Keeps the flow mobile-friendly, labels requested checks, and routes fallback steps without making the applicant decode the process.
Property team sees
Completion status, verified fields, partner report context, and exceptions needed to keep the application moving.
In the product

Reviewers get status and exceptions in the dashboard. Renters get focused mobile steps. The handoff stays visible as the package moves forward.
