Each package can include the rental application, identity verification, source-verified income and employment, and credit, background, and eviction reports from FCRA-regulated partners. You choose the modules per property, who pays, and the criteria the results display against.

TransUnion, 2023The whole workflow fits in four steps.
Your team configures the package once. After that, every applicant moves through the same guided flow, and every result lands in the same review queue.
Six checks.
One package.
Every module runs inside the same flow and returns to the same review queue. Start with what the property needs, add the rest when it matters.
Income
Recurring deposits and pay, verified from payroll. No pay stubs.
Employment
Current employer and status, confirmed at the source.
Identity
Government ID matched to the applicant before checks run.
Credit
Full file from an FCRA-regulated partner, reviewed against your criteria.
Background
National criminal and public records through an FCRA-regulated partner.
Eviction
Eviction history attached to the same applicant file.
An intelligence layer on every package.
Burnt's intelligence engine reads the full applicant package and highlights what needs attention. It never scores or decides; it helps reviewers move faster with clearer risk context, and the call stays with your team.
Pay per screening, not per seat.
One full package covers source-verified income and employment, identity, and partner credit, background, and eviction: $39.99 per applicant, $20 during beta. Sending applications is free, and portfolio terms are custom.
Short answer
What makes a good tenant screening platform?
A good tenant screening platform runs the whole workflow in one place: the operator configures a package once, the applicant completes consent, identity, and income steps from a single link, and credit, background, and eviction reports from FCRA-regulated partners return alongside source-verified income and employment as one package. The marks to look for: applicants can finish fast from a phone, results come back as one reviewable file instead of scattered reports, criteria display next to every result so review stays consistent, and the decision stays with your team.
