Yes. Criteria live in packages configured per property, market, or owner requirement, covering income-to-rent thresholds, required verifications, and included partner reports. Every applicant gets the same guided flow, and reviewers see results against that property's package.
For multifamily operators
Standardize screening without slowing applicants down.
Burnt runs screening as one workflow across your portfolio: criteria set per property, every application in one queue, exceptions routed to your team. Applicants verify income at the source in minutes, so leases keep moving while standards hold.
One queue. One standard. Applicants keep moving.
How it works across a portfolio.
Three moving parts: your criteria, the applicant's source connection, and one review queue. Set the policy once per property and the flow stays the same from a single asset to a full takeover.
What changes for a multifamily team.
One workflow changes four things at once: review gets lighter, standards travel with the asset, criteria hold steady as rules shift, and qualified applicants stop waiting.
Exception review, not file review
Verified results return in minutes after the applicant connects and land in one queue, already checked against that property's criteria. Centralized leasing reads the queue and touches only the cases that miss — hours of per-file review become minutes of exception handling.
One standard, every asset
Criteria packages travel with the property, so a new acquisition or market runs the same screening standard on day one and owners see consistent reporting.
Rules shift, criteria hold
Screening rules move market by market and year by year. Burnt keeps criteria and review context steady in one place, supporting a consistent, reviewable process as local requirements change — it informs your compliance work and does not replace your decision or your counsel.
The whole file at once
Source-verified income and employment appear beside credit, background, and eviction reports from FCRA-regulated partners, all against the property's criteria. Reviewers see the whole applicant file at once, so your team decides faster and with more of the picture.

Short answer
How do multifamily operators standardize tenant screening across a portfolio?
Multifamily operators standardize screening by setting written criteria per property, running every application through the same verification flow, and tracking the whole portfolio in one queue so only exceptions need human attention. Burnt runs this model with per-property criteria packages, payroll-source income and employment verification that completes in minutes after the applicant connects, and credit, background, and eviction data from FCRA-regulated partners — all in one dashboard. Because criteria and review context live in one place, the process stays consistent and reviewable as local screening rules change.
