Tenant Screening

Consumer data is essential for landlords and management companies to make critical decisions, and they need a reliable and comprehensive source for obtaining that information. Some key factors in determining the likelihood of payment delinquency which can lead to necessary eviction, and criminal activity, are Consumer Credit Reports, Landlord Tenant History Reports, and Criminal Reports. All are available instantly online to facilitate the screening process.

Credit Reports

Each Weimark consumer credit report, available from the major credit bureaus, is provided with a FICO® score and automatic verification of application data including SSN, Death Master, and Address Verification. The reports are reformatted, and easy to read. In addition to the FICO score, customers have access to our innovative Weimark WMI Risk Matrix™, which allows for customization and application of powerful criteria garnered from millions of credit applications, as well as extensive research and experience in the risk and analytics field. Business Credit Reports are available as well.

Eviction Reports

An eviction record can provide meaningful information about any prospective tenant. Weimark’s PinPoint/Enhanced Eviction Search is a result of an instant search of national databases' public records for eviction filings, and then powerful algorithms put into effect to eliminate all inaccuracies and unapplied red flags. Customers instantly gain access to over 34 million records compiled from all 50 states through our website, and get direct matches, which prevents the costly decision, in both time and money, of a bad tenant.

Criminal Reports

Weimark has a wide variety of criminal reports, facilitating the crucial step in controlling the risks of accepting an applicant with a criminal history. Depending on individual company needs, a variety of criminal searches can be quickly performed at the national, state, or county level. Available as well are reports with information such as felonies, misdemeanors, convictions, and incarcerations, which are one of the most reliable sources for criminal background screening data. The U.S. Sex Offender Criminal Report is a compilation of all sex offenses from multiple states, and returns information of currently registered sex offenders with felony conviction.

Employment Screening

Employee Credit Reports

Weimark's selection of Employment Credit Reports offers you an important set of tools for assessing an applicant for a position that requires a history of financial responsibility.

Weimark’s Employment Credit Reports are tailored for use in employment screening and differ from traditional credit reports. An Employment Credit Report does not include scores or account numbers, and an Employment Credit Report inquiry does not affect an applicant's credit score. An Employment Credit Report is used to enhance a traditional employment decision by providing credit information that would not normally appear on an application but may have an impact on job performance.

Employers can utilize the Employment Credit Report to verify that an applicant is responsible and reliable or to confirm an applicant's identity. Some employers use this credit report for employment to assess whether an applicant is a person who can manage his or her affairs or if the applicant's monthly debt payments are too high for the salary involved. Other employers limit Employment Credit Reports to management and executive positions or to positions that have access to cash, assets, a company credit card, or confidential information. Employers are well advised to run an Employment Credit Report on bookkeepers or others who handle company funds.

Credit information provides insight into an applicant's responsibility toward his or her obligations, integrity and ability to fulfill financial obligations. The Employment Credit Report includes the applicant's credit history, providing an objective overview of how financial obligations are handled over a period of time. An Employment Credit Report typically contains the following types of information:

  • Name, Social Security Number, current and past addresses
  • How persons pay their debts – credit cards, personal loans, car loans, student loans, and mortgage
  • How much credit a person has been given
  • How much is currently owed
  • Late payments and collections
  • Number of inquiries
  • Public records such as court judgments, liens and bankruptcies(Negative information will stay on a report for seven years, and bankruptcies stay for 10 years - although there are limitations to using a bankruptcy in an employment decision)
