Excellent service from this company. The reports came quickly and a representative followed up to make sure I had all of the information that I was looking for. I highly recommend Singlekey’s background check.

Really good experience in using the service. Obtaining the credit history was painless and even got the reference at the same time!

I used Single key for a background check and it has helped me find higher quality, more financially stable tenants. I have been using Single Key's rent guarantee and automatic rent collection for almost a year now too. The tenants like it because they never have to worry about forgetting to pay the rent and as a landlord, it's really worth it because I never need to worry about nonpayment of rent. Humans can forget but Single Key does not! Peace of mind has a price. I haven't made a claim with them, my hope is that I never need to, but if I do, they will honor their rent guarantee program.

Thank you for your great service. I experienced some problems with getting through but they were at my end. Your service people were great in assisting me with my difficulty. This is a great and necessary service for landlords in Ontario or any where. I have just got rid of a nightmare tenant who was a brother of a "friend" . Don't ever accept a tenant without a tenant check. A Single Key tenant check is A1 excellent. Thank you so much.
