RentSpree’s extended background checks offer broader court access and smarter protection. Powered by TransUnion.
Earlier this year, we partnered with TransUnion to expand RentSpree’s background checks, giving you deeper access to federal, state, and county records across more jurisdictions. That upgrade now comes standard with every tenant screening package.
But for agents handling high-stakes rentals or working across multiple markets, standard coverage isn’t always enough.
Meet extended background checks
This new coverage tier pulls records from courts that most screening providers skip, like state, county, and city jurisdictions that charge a fee to access.
The result? More complete data, fewer blind spots, and stronger protection, especially when the stakes are high.
With RentSpree, you don’t have to choose between convenience and thoroughness—you get both.
What extended background checks include
When you’re screening applicants, you’re not just checking a box. You’re protecting your client’s investment, your professional reputation, and the peace of mind that comes with making a confident call.
Extended background checks include everything that comes with standard coverage, plus access to additional courts and harder-to-reach records complete the picture.
Here’s how the two tiers compare:

How to get extended background checks
Extended coverage is built into the RentSpree screening flow. This coverage tier also comes with additional value:
- Income verification, powered by Finicity. Instantly view verified income and cash flow pulled directly from the applicant’s bank account.
- Document uploads. Skip the back-and-forth and review everything in one place. No email tag, no clutter.
- Reference checks. Automatically request written references from previous landlords or employers to round out your screening.
It’s everything you need to make faster, more informed leasing decisions—built into the same workflow you already use.
Cost to you as the agent or landlord: $0
Cost to the applicant: $10 (on top of the $39.99 base screening fee)
