Screening
Create the package
Choose application fields, verification modules, payer model, and property criteria.
Credit checks
Add credit context without splitting the workflow.
Credit should not live in a separate tab from income, identity, and application status. Burnt keeps partner credit results beside the rest of the applicant package.

Short answer
What is a tenant credit check?
A tenant credit check reviews credit history and related risk indicators for a rental applicant. Burnt presents partner credit results inside the same screening workflow where the team reviews consent, criteria, source verification, and exceptions.
