Overview

The United States has over 1 million residents in rental housing, which is 35% of the total US population. In Pennsylvania, almost 7% of the state’s population is in apartment housing. TenantReports.com can help Pennsylvania landlords with tenant screening to make the application and rental process faster and easier than ever.

Pennsylvania tenant screening records contain data from as early as 2000 depending on courts searched and the type of offense registered. Information obtained through screening cannot be used to alter a current rental agreement, unless the tenant is shown to have breached said agreement.
