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.

FAQs

Your Rent Guarantee Questions Answered

The Rent Guarantee program includes:

– Guaranteed Rental income for up to 12 months or $60,000 per lease
– Damage protection from willful tenant damage up to $10,000 per lease
– Legal Fees incurred during the eviction process covered up to $1,500
– Automatic Rent Collection via PAD
– 2 FREE Tenant Credit & Background Checks

Since we collect the rent for you, we will know right away if the tenant hasn’t paid and we will take action to contact the tenant and collect the rent. If the tenant is unresponsive, we will continue to pay your rent for up to 12 months while working with our paralegal team to remove the delinquent tenant.

In the case of negligent or wilful property damage by the tenant, please notify us within the next business day and we will be reimbursed up to $10,000 of damages if the tenant refuses to pay.

To start the Rent Guarantee we need the following documents:

1. Credit Report for each tenant – we can help with this

2. Proof of income in the form of recent Paystubs, T4, Bank statement or Employment Letter

3. Valid signed lease agreement

We also recommend that the landlord performs a Pre‐Inspection report, including images of the property detailing the condition of the unit prior to tenant move‐in; as well as proof of property and liability insurance

The good news is that we do not qualify tenants based solely on their credit score. To ensure affordability, we require that the rent cannot exceed 45% of tenant’s gross household-income.

Yes, we can guarantee new and mid-lease tenants. For existing tenants, we simply require confirmation that the tenant has made their past rent payments on time.
