Default SmartMove
I use SmartMove. $45 fee paid by applicant. You simply open a free online account and set up details of the rental. When interested tenant provides an email, you plug it it and SmartMove (powered by TransUnion) does the rest.

I tell tenants that they pay the fee and that most qualified applicant will be selected. I establish minimum FICO of 700. I explain a criminal and credit background check is part of the process and if they are the most qualified, I will deduct their fee from 1st month rent.

Amazing how many people will
Give you their email address and never complete the application (because they know they won’t be most qualified, don’t have a 700+ FICO, or will have issues w/criminal or credit background. The bad applicants basically take themselves out of the equation.
