Tenant Screening Without the Listing Requirement
You don't have to advertise your rental property on Domu to use our tenant screening service.
Domu tenant screening can be used as a standalone tool. Enter the address of the rental property, add your applicant's name and email address, and send the screening request directly from your landlord dashboard.
That makes Domu an easy option for independent landlords, property managers, brokers, and other housing providers who need reliable tenant screening without signing up for another monthly subscription or property management platform.
Your applicant handles the authorization, identity verification, and payment. You receive the completed reports in your Domu account.
Pricing & What's Included
Three checks. One dashboard view.
A single TransUnion pull covers all three reports landlords typically want to see on an applicant.
Applicants can reuse the same TransUnion report with other Domu landlords during the 30-day window at no added cost.
TransUnion Credit Report
Review important credit information that can help you evaluate an applicant's financial history, including credit score, payment history, outstanding balances, accounts, liens, and bankruptcies.
Eviction History
Search court-record eviction history, including nationwide eviction records, to help identify previous eviction filings associated with the applicant.
Criminal Background Check
Review criminal background information provided through TransUnion screening data. Availability, timing, and how criminal history may be considered can vary depending on the location of the rental property.

Tenant Screening for Properties Outside Chicago
Domu may be known for Chicago apartments, but you do not have to list an apartment on Domu to use our tenant screening service.
Domu's screening process is designed to account for state and local tenant screening requirements. In jurisdictions with additional restrictions, the screening workflow automatically adjusts when and how certain reports are provided.
This can include phased screening in locations where criminal background information may only be reviewed later in the application process.
