Tenant screening in Clarington — FAQ

How do I screen a tenant in Clarington, Ontario?

Create a free EzyRent account, send your Clarington applicant a screening invite by email or text, and they complete it themselves — no paperwork. You get an Equifax credit report, credit score, background and eviction history, plus income and employment verification, in one report. You can screen a standalone applicant or run it straight from a rental listing.

How much does a tenant credit check cost in Clarington?

Prescreening is free. A full Equifax tenant credit check is a low flat fee per report, paid only when you run one — no subscription required to start. You can pass the cost to the applicant or cover it yourself.

Do I need a rental listing to screen a tenant?

No. You can screen any Clarington applicant on EzyRent without ever posting a listing. It's simply faster if you do post — a free EzyRent listing lets you book showings and launch screening and the credit check directly from the applicant, all in one place.

Is the tenant credit check Equifax-based and consent-compliant?

Yes. Reports are pulled from Equifax with the applicant's explicit consent, which EzyRent collects and records as part of the screening flow — so you stay onside with Ontario and Canadian privacy rules.

Can the tenant fill out the screening themselves?

Yes. You send a secure invite link; the applicant enters their own details, uploads ID and income documents, and consents to the credit pull. You never re-key anything, and the finished report lands in your EzyRent dashboard.
