Turn's tenant screening package combines the checks that matter most into a single, consolidated report. No building packages from scratch, no separate logins, no surprise fees.
SSN trace + address history
Validates the applicant's identity and returns a full address history to anchor downstream searches to the right jurisdictions.
7-year county criminal records
Searches county court records across jurisdictions tied to the applicant's address history. County courts handle the majority of criminal prosecutions in the U.S.
National criminal database
Queries hundreds of millions of public records across state and national databases to surface history not captured at the county level.
Sex offender registry
Public registry data from all 50 states, D.C., and tribal territories. Required by many state landlord-tenant laws.
Soft credit check
Modified credit report showing payment history, open accounts, collections, public records, and bankruptcies. No score. No impact on applicant credit.
Eviction history (civil search)
Civil court records for eviction filings, unlawful detainer actions, judgments, and monetary claims. Most predictive indicator of future rental risk.
Per-report pricing that decreases as your screening volume grows. No annual contracts, no hidden fees, pay only for what you screen.
For property management software, rental marketplace platforms, and multifamily tech stacks, TurnOS lets you offer tenant screening under your own brand with no CRA licensing obligations and no applicants redirected outside your product.
Your platform certifies permissible purpose. Turn owns CRA registration, FCRA workflows, adverse action, disputes, and bilingual applicant support.
Criminal background, credit report, eviction history, identity verification, and FCRA adverse action, all through one REST API endpoint.
Completed reports delivered to your platform via webhook. No polling. Applicant decisions surface in your UI in real time.
Fast launch. Turn manages applicant communications end to end.
Your brand stays front and center. Embedded consent, zero user friction.
Own the full UX, business logic, and customer relationship end-to-end.
