Tenant screening (planned)
Tenant screening and rental applications in Aptoria are planned. How screening will work, how to screen fairly today, and why every decision stays yours.
The short answer
Aptoria doesn’t offer tenant screening yet. When screening is enabled, the applicant orders their own report through TransUnion SmartMove and a person reviews it; Aptoria will not score applicants. Taking rental applications through Aptoria is planned. Aptoria never decides on an applicant; a person makes every decision.

Screening fairly today
Write down the criteria that matter to you, such as income relative to rent and rental history, and apply them the same way to every applicant. Consistent written criteria are good practice and what fair-housing law expects.
When you decline an applicant based in whole or in part on a screening report, federal law requires an adverse-action notice: it tells the applicant a report informed the decision, names the reporting agency, and explains their right to dispute the information and get a free copy.
What stays with a person
Aptoria never decides on an applicant; a person makes every decision.
Denying an applicant is on the BLOCKED floor, which no setting can loosen.
