Short answer

What should the tenant screening process look like?

A modern tenant screening process should make the next step clear for both sides. Burnt helps property teams define the package, collect consent, verify source-backed facts, run partner modules where included, and review the result without chasing disconnected files.

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.

01

Create the package

Choose application fields, verification modules, payer model, and property criteria.

02

Send the link

Invite the applicant by email, SMS, listing, dashboard action, or connected workflow.

03

Applicant completes

The renter consents, verifies identity, connects sources, and completes requested partner steps.

04

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.

Property team does

Choose application fields, identity, income, employment, credit, background, eviction, fraud, and document-fallback modules.

Applicant does

Invite the renter by email, SMS, listing, or integration so the applicant starts from one guided flow.

Burnt returns

In the product

The package stays connected from invite to review.

Reviewers get status and exceptions in the dashboard. Renters get focused mobile steps. The handoff stays visible as the package moves forward.
