Every landlord runs a rental history report on you before approving your application. The question is — do you know what's in yours? Mismatched addresses, outdated records, or errors you never knew existed can cost you your next home.
Address History Verification
Every address on file
Eviction Record Search
National database check
Soft Inquiry Only
Zero credit impact
Before approving a single application, landlords pull your rental history report to verify every address you've listed. If your report shows an address you didn't mention — or is missing one you did — that mismatch alone can get you rejected. Most renters have no idea what their report says until it's too late.

A national eviction database check to confirm whether any eviction filings are associated with your name — including ones that may not belong to you.
Your rental history report is pulled as a soft inquiry. It never touches your credit score and won't show up on credit reports pulled by lenders or landlords.
The most common reason rental applications get flagged is an address mismatch. Your report shows every address tied to your name — compare it against what you plan to list on applications and fix discrepancies before a landlord spots them.

“I had a sublet from college I completely forgot about. It showed up on my rental history and the address didn't match what I put on my application. Caught it before the landlord did.”

“There was an eviction record attached to my name that wasn't mine — same name, different person. If I hadn't pulled my report first, I would've been denied on the spot.”

“I shared my rental history report with three landlords before they even asked. Two of them told me it made me stand out as a serious applicant. Got approved for my first choice.”

A rental history report is a record of your past addresses, landlord verifications, and eviction history compiled from national databases. Landlords use it to verify where you've lived and whether you have any eviction records before approving your rental application.
Yes — your first rental history report on VerticalRent is 100% free. No credit card required, no trial period, no strings attached. We believe every renter should know what's in their file before landlords see it.
National screening databases index records by full legal name. Without your middle name, the system may return inaccurate matches — pulling records for someone else with the same first and last name, or missing your records entirely. Your middle name ensures the report is accurate and only reflects your history, not someone else's.
Your SSN is required to run the address history trace through national consumer databases. This is the same process landlords use when they screen you — except you're pulling it on yourself first. Your SSN is encrypted with 256-bit SSL in transit and AES-256 at rest, used solely for the search, and never stored after the report is generated. VerticalRent is a consumer reporting agency regulated under the FCRA.
Absolutely. Your data is protected by bank-grade 256-bit SSL encryption in transit and AES-256 encryption at rest. We are FCRA-regulated and follow strict data handling protocols. Your SSN is never stored after the search completes, and your personal information is never sold or shared with third parties. We process over thousands of screening reports and maintain the highest security standards in the industry.
