Credit Checks

The Ayers Team offers a NEW leading-edge technology solution to the standard credit and background check process.

We are working with TransUnion and their SmartMove product to bring our potential tenants a secure, web-based portal that gives you the ability to protect your personal identifying information while applying for a lease.

When you use SmartMove, you provide your Social Security Number directly to TransUnion, not an unknown landlord.  TransUnion verifies your identify and provides the landlord with a leasing recommendation, credit report and criminal history.  They don’t see personal identifying information such as Social Security Number of bank account numbers.  This way, your sensitive information remains safe with TransUnion, a secure, trusted credit reporting company that safely houses credit data for approximately 500 million people worldwide.

Plus, your credit score is NOT impacted when you use SmartMove.  Unlike when a landlord or lender retrieves your credit report, SmartMove lets you be the one to initiate the request for your own file to be send so it’s a ’soft hit’ on your history, which doesn’t impact your credit.

How SmartMove Works

Unlike traditional screening methods, SmartMove is all online.  You’ll receive an e-mail request from the landlord with a link to MySmartmove.com.  Simply create a secure account in seconds, review the landlord’s request and choose whether or not to grant consent.  The landlord receives notification instantly, helping to speed up the rental application process and keep your personal identifying information more secure.
