In order to protect applicants’ most sensitive information and to limit the liability of our clients, SSNs are not viewable on Rent Application.

Paper based applications often collected the applicant's social security number in order to facilitate a credit report and background check. These paper based applications inherently created security concerns related to this important data.

Rent Application improves the security for both decision makers and applicants.

Because the screening is performed in real time with the submission of the application, there's no need to display this important data on the application once the credit and background screen has been completed.

Resident vs Applicant Data

Rent Application helps landlords, property managers and other decision makers select new residents. The data provided is intended to support this selection process.

Occasionally, landlords and property managers will maintain data such as the SSN as part of a resident package. Should this be necessary for your property, the SSN should be collected at lease signing.

All Rent Application Technology Services LLC ("Rent Application") employees receive thorough training, and we comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act (GLBA). We share information securely with trusted third parties only when needed—to provide services, prevent fraud, and meet legal requirements.
