Short answer
What is the best tenant screening workflow for landlords?
Landlords use tenant screening to understand whether an applicant is likely to pay rent, meet criteria, and complete the lease responsibly. Burnt makes that process easier to run by combining the application, source-verified income, and partner screening modules in one workflow.
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.
Send the link
Invite the applicant by email, SMS, listing, dashboard action, or connected workflow.
Applicant completes
The renter consents, verifies identity, connects sources, and completes requested partner steps.
Review one package
Your team sees status, source-backed facts, partner context, exceptions, and notes together.
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
