Multifamily property managers face a daunting task when it comes to screening applicants. They need to conduct thorough criminal background checks in a timely manner, while observing increasingly stringent consumer privacy regulations. To address this challenge, TransUnion announced its collaboration with Asurint to provide a compliance-focused solution for criminal background screening.

TransUnion?s TruVision? Resident Screening solution now comprises the breadth and depth of Asurint?s criminal background reporting?with coast-to-coast automated coverage across the US. In addition, Asurint?s engine automatically applies federal, state, and local filters designed to address consumer protection and housing regulations, to equip property managers with quality data.

The collaboration also allows TransUnion to deliver background reports with unparalleled speed. Most reports without background hits come back within minutes, while those requiring additional vetting are usually returned same-day. The turnaround time becomes more impressive considering the depth of coverage, which includes backgrounds on applicant aliases, sanctions and abuse registries and more.
