tenant applications contain fraudulent documents: fake income letters, altered bank statements, or IDs that don’t check out. Without verified screening, there’s no way to know.
What does SingleKey’s tenant screening actually check?
SingleKey goes far beyond a basic credit check. Every report covers five critical verification layers:
Bureau-Pulled Credit Report
Sourced directly from Equifax or TransUnion: a complete credit check evaluating financial reliability.
ID Verification
Government-grade identity check that confirms the applicant is exactly who they claim to be.
Document Verification
Flags inconsistencies in submitted documents, such as altered letters, mismatched details, and anything that doesn’t add up.
Bank-Verified Income
Income confirmed directly from the applicant’s financial institution, not a pay stub or letter they could have edited themselves.
Eviction & Public Record History
Eviction records sourced from Openroom, SOQUIJ, and CanLII, as well as fraud and public records checks.
Landlords:
Why should I screen tenants through SingleKey?
Fraudulent applications don’t come with obvious red flags. Applicants who seem perfectly qualified on the surface can submit fake income letters, altered bank statements, or IDs that don’t check out. SingleKey closes the gap between what an applicant tells you and what’s actually true, giving you a verified, comprehensive report so you can make a confident, defensible decision before handing over the keys.
Realtors:
How does SingleKey help protect my professional reputation?
In a competitive market, most realtors look the same on paper. What separates you is what you do that others skip. Running professional tenant screening through SingleKey is one of those things; a small step your clients notice and remember when they’re referring or ready to transact again.
For realtors, screening every applicant isn’t just good practice; it’s professional protection. A verified report gives your client a clear, defensible basis for their decision. And if a placement ever comes into question, you have the documentation to show you did your due diligence.
