Every truck stocks TransUnion or Equifax pulls, court record lookups, ID verification, employment verification, and reference checks so the typical tenant screening call closes on the first visit. Full applicant screening package, expedited screening for time-sensitive vacancies, and re-screening on lease renewal make up most of the Rochester ticket queue.
