Why landlords switch to LandlordEzy

A standalone credit-check service stops at the credit report. We don't.

Most credit-check tools hand you a score and disappear. LandlordEzy is the one place that screens the tenant and runs the rest of the tenancy — listing, lease, rent collection, LTB notices and rent reporting — all on one login.

AI Credit Checks and Tenant Screening Canada Equifax Credit Checks

AI deep scan technology

Not just a credit check — a full AI investigation

LandlordEzy analyzes everything your tenant submits — not just their credit score. The system reviews pre-screening answers, financial documents, supporting records, bank statements, references, and risk signals together to give landlords a complete view.

Your tenant can upload:

  • Pay stubs and employment letters
  • Bank statements
  • Landlord references
  • Work references
  • Supporting documents
This creates a complete tenant profile — not just a surface-level screening.
Free pre-screening collects the tenant profile first. The complete AI Credit Check is a paid upgrade that analyzes the full profile with credit, documents, income, and financial behavior.

FAQ

Tenant credit check & screening questions

How much does a tenant credit check cost in Canada?

On LandlordEzy, a real Equifax tenant credit check starts at $29.99 per check. You can add AI bank-statement analysis ($10), AI identity verification ($10), an Ontario LTB order cross-check ($5), the Landlord Reference Network ($5), or an expert human review ($65) — so you only pay for what each application actually needs. Tenant pre-screening is free.

Does running a credit check affect my tenant's credit score?

No. A LandlordEzy tenant credit check is a soft inquiry. Soft inquiries are used for tenant screening and never lower the applicant's credit score, so tenants can apply with confidence and you still see the full Equifax credit report.

Can I run a tenant credit check across Canada, or just in Ontario?

Credit checks, AI screening and free pre-screening work for landlords in every Canadian province — the Equifax credit report is national. A few tools are Ontario-specific (the LTB order cross-check and the Ontario Standard Lease), but the core credit check and screening are Canada-wide.

How is LandlordEzy different from a standalone credit-check service?

A standalone service hands you a credit score and stops there. LandlordEzy gives you the same Equifax report plus AI bank-statement and affordability analysis, identity verification, an LTB cross-check and the Landlord Reference Network — and then runs the rest of the tenancy: listing, lease, rent collection, rent reporting and LTB notices. One login and one invoice instead of a separate service for every step.

Can the tenant pay for their own credit check?

Yes. Turn on Tenant Pays and we send the applicant a secure link to pay and upload their documents — you never front the cost. You can also choose to credit the fee toward their first month's rent if you approve them.

Is tenant pre-screening really free?

Yes. LandlordEzy tenant pre-screening is free and collects the applicant's rental profile, history, employment, income, references and supporting documents — so you can filter applicants before paying for a full credit check.

What does the AI bank-statement analysis show?

Tenants can upload up to four months of bank statements and our AI summarises real affordability: income vs. expenses, cash-flow stability, recurring obligations, discretionary spending and any signs of financial stress — the things a credit score alone can't tell you.

What's included in the final screening report?

One unified report: an AI risk summary, the full Equifax credit report, bank-statement and affordability analysis, identity verification, the LTB order cross-check, Landlord Reference Network results, guarantor details and any expert human review — plus missing-document alerts so you never decide on incomplete information.
