Tenant Screening

Tenant Background Screening for Utah Landlords & Property Managers

FCRA-compliant tenant screening reports — criminal history, eviction records, credit, and identity verification — to help Utah landlords make informed rental decisions.

Protect Your Property With Verified Tenant Backgrounds

Placing the wrong tenant is costly. FactFinders Investigations provides landlords and property management companies with comprehensive tenant screening reports that go beyond the automated online services — including source-verified criminal history, eviction records, and identity confirmation.

All tenant screening is conducted in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and Utah landlord-tenant law. Reports include the documentation required to support adverse action notices when a rental application is declined.
