Overview
The United States has over 1 million residents in rental housing, which is 35% of the total US population. In Delaware, over 9% of the state’s population is in apartment housing. TenantReports.com can help Delaware landlords with tenant screening to make the application and rental process faster and easier than ever.
Delaware has relatively few publicly available databases to compile consumer reports. Most searches will only go as far back as three to seven years, depending on the type of request. Information obtained must not be used to alter a current rental agreement, unless the terms of that agreement have been breached.
