Really great service. I needed to setup an account on the weekend and single key was the only company that works on the weekend to to verify my information. Best tenant verification system.

I have used SingleKey with a couple prospective tenants and so far I like it. It provides the information I need to make a decision. Many investors I know also use this website and love it.

Very legit. Very professional. Very Canadian! I had a couple of issues at the beginning, but they were addressed quite quickly and properly. They are a good match to the business of landlording. Have recommended to others in the field.

SingleKey was easy for me as a Landlord to use, and was great for my applicants as they did not have to worry about providing their details directly to me. The cost is totally reasonable and I intend to use this for all my future tenant screening.

FAQs
Your Rent Guarantee Questions Answered
What is included in the Rent Guarantee Program?
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
What happens when tenants miss their rent payment?
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.
What happens if the tenant causes damage or vandalizes my property?
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.
What documents you need to start the Rent Guarantee?
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
What are the Tenant Eligibility Requirements?
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.
Do you guarantee both existing and new tenants?
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.
