Short answer
How should tenant screening compliance work?
Tenant screening compliance means applying fair, consistent, legally reviewed criteria while respecting applicant rights, consent, data handling, and adverse-action obligations. Burnt supports those workflows while partner credit, background, and eviction checks are provided by FCRA-regulated partners.
