Overall Rating: 3.8 / 5 (Very good)

SmartMove provides a thorough screening process with which small-scale property owners can screen tenants before deciding if they are a right fit for their property. The product is created by TransUnion, one of the oldest and most reputable credit reporting agencies in the United States. However, SmartMove's customer service options are extremely limited and some tiers may provide more tools than are really needed.

SmartMove Background Check Details

Report Quality - 4 / 5

SmartMove provides three tiers of screening and the fact that the product was created by TransUnion itself means that it cuts out the middleman, assuring its customers that it has the latest up-to-date information regarding every tenant it screens. The most expensive tiers also provide eviction reports, showing you exactly what each tenant's residential history is.

SmartMove's customer service options leave a little to be desired, with the company only providing a toll-free number to contact a customer service representative if you have any questions regarding your account or need technical support. The number is 1-866-775-0961, although the company also does not provide office hours in which to call.
