I had a tenant break their lease a month early, and SingleKey stepped in to cover the lost rent for that month (Rent Guarantee Service). The process was straightforward, and the payout was prompt. It's reassuring to know that I have this kind of support as a landlord. Highly recommend!
Devin J. September 2024
Great service for landlords - especially tenant screening and education/knowledge parts of it. Customer service is very responsive and helpful. I've been a paying client of SingleKey for 2 years and will continue using this platform.
Daniel B. August 2024
The agent Rahi spent nearly an hour with me, a senior, while I completed the forms online. He was so friendly, knowledgeable and patient as he walked me step by step through the process. Please recognize Rahi's efforts as extraordinary, excellent customer service skills and an overall gentleman. Titanic thanks!

Keith J. October 2024
SingleKey is a great tool for Landlords. Especially with all the fraudulent documents we are receiving these days. The roll out of the international credit checks is an amazing addition to an already great tool.

We have offices in Toronto, ON and Vancouver, BC. We serve all of the U.S. and Canada including Quebec.

For the U.S., we currently provide our Tenant Reports and Rent Guarantee Program. The Rent Collection tool is currently unavailable. 

We only charge one-time fee per tenant check. No monthly subscription or services fees. You can pay yourself, or request the tenant to pay.
To order a tenant credit report, you have 2 options:

Option 1: INVITE TENANT

Email a tenant the application form to collect their information. The tenant then fills out their information and gives consent to run the credit report. We then run the report and notify you when it’s ready.

Option 2: ENTER TENANT INFORMATION

If you have the tenant’s information and their consent, you can enter the tenant’s information and get the results back within 5 minutes. To run the report, you will need the tenant’s legal name, address, and date of birth.

As of November 2024, both credit bureaus, TransUnion and Equifax, have classified rental credit checks as soft checks. This means our Tenant Screening Report will not appear as an inquiry on a tenant’s credit file. It will also not affect a tenant’s credit score, even if they are screened multiple times in a short time period. This will apply retroactively to any rental check that was done in the past two years. As a soft check, the credit inquiry will no longer show up for lenders on the credit report. However, a rental applicant will see the inquiry on their MyEquifax portal.

The public documents scan is a real-time public document search of over 200,000 databases looking for criminal records, court decisions, past evictions, negative press, social media profiles, public biographies, past employment and more.
