Housing providers benefit from quick access to records from nearly 700 sources for public criminal and housing court reports that are enhanced with data reported directly to CIC.
Criminal and/or housing court records will be found in the Renter Resume after an application is submitted, paid and the potential renter/consumer has completed the credit bureau's consumer authentication.
A user can can choose not to receive criminal reports by toggling Criminal Reports OFF from Settings: Application Criteria.
This article outlines the details of any background records found in the CIC reports:
Reports Found Warning
If there are any reports, criminal or eviction, found and returned in the applicant's background check, an agent will see a warning symbol (red exclamation point) next to the credit score.
The warning symbol is an indicator of a Criminal/Eviction record. By clicking on the score and/or warning symbol, you will navigate to the top of the Experian reports.
Criminal Report
Intellirent does not control or alter the data returned by CIC, however we try to display the data to you in an easy to read format.
Using advanced filters and industry best practices, CIC uses public records to search:
- State criminal background checks*
- Most Wanted Databases
- National Sex Offender Public Registry
- OFAC
If you are returned a criminal report and are needing additional information, Intellirent recommends searching the court records using the data that is returned. Many times, a court will release minimal information so a user can obtain more details on their website and by agreeing to their terms of use.
No Report Found
If no reports are found in CIC's search, the reports section in the Renter Resume will say, No Reports Found.
