# What are the Tenant Screening Options in Canada

## FrontLobby provides robust Tenant Screening tools tailored to Canadian Landlords, Real Estate Agents/Realtors and Property Managers.

FrontLobby Tenant Screening Options include:

**Credit Report** – Instant, long-form Equifax reports covering: 

- Credit scores
- Current and former addresses
- Employment confirmation
- Credit history (tradelines)
- Credit balances
- Collections
- Bankruptcies
- Inquiries

**Background Check** – Searches 110,000+ databases across 240+ countries to provide critical insights including:

- Employment history
- Previous addresses
- Education
- Criminal records
- Court decisions
- Public press releases

**Landlord Credit Bureau Tenant Record** – Verified rental payment history: 

- Monthly record of payments or debts
- Includes Landlord’s name and email for reference checks

**ID Verification**: Confirms your Applicant is who they say they are, powered by Persona:

- A photo of their government-issued ID, matched to a selfie
- Completed by the Applicant through a secure link we email them
- You are notified as soon as it is done
- Available with the Reporting Bundle in Canada
- Free while we are introducing it

Identity is the foundation of every other check. Once you know the Applicant is who they say they are, you can trust that the Credit Report, Background Check and Tenant Record belong to that person.
