Decide on real information
What a screening report contains
Identity through Plaid, credit through Equifax Canada, and everything the applicant declares about income, work and where they have lived.
Identity verification
Confirm your applicant is who they say they are with secure, Plaid-powered identity verification before any reports are shared.
Equifax credit report
A soft credit pull from Equifax Canada — see the applicant’s credit score, open accounts, and collections without affecting their score.
Complete applicant profile
Income and employment, residence history with landlord references, plus household, pets, and vehicles — captured in one application.
You do not pay for this
Inviting an applicant costs nothing, and reading the report costs nothing. The applicant pays one flat fee when they submit, and that fee covers their identity check and their Equifax Canada credit report.

Screen every applicant on the same footing
Everyone who applies completes the same application and the same identity verification and Equifax Canada credit report. You get credit score, income and employment, and rental history in the same shape for every candidate — so the comparison is like for like, and the decision stays yours.
How an application moves
It reaches you
You can invite renters to apply directly to you, or let them start an application from your listing.
You read the report
Verified identity and an Equifax Canada credit report come back in minutes, alongside the rest of the applicant’s profile.
You approve and sign
Approve your renter and move straight into the lease — the application, the lease and the tenancy all stay on the same unit.
What you learn about an applicant
Every applicant, in the same shape, at no cost to you.
Identity verified through Plaid
Your applicant confirms they are who they say they are before any report is shared with you.
Equifax Canada credit report
A soft pull showing credit score, open accounts and collections. Because it is a soft inquiry, it never affects their score.
Income and employment
Employer, position and stated income are captured in the application so you can weigh them against your asking rent.
Rental history and references
Previous addresses with landlord references, so you can call someone who has already rented to this person.
The whole household
Co-applicants and roommates each complete their own application and reports, and pets and vehicles are declared upfront.
Free for you, one flat fee for them
You never pay to invite an applicant or read a report. The applicant pays a single flat fee, and can reuse the report on other CPRB listings for 30 days.
