Common questions

What checks are included in a tenant screening?

Tenant Basic ($99.99) includes identity verification, an Equifax credit check and a standard Canadian criminal record check. Tenant Plus ($144.99) adds employment verification.

Does the applicant have to agree to the checks?

Yes. No check runs without the applicant's explicit consent. Vcheck emails them a secure link to review the disclosure, give consent and verify their ID on their phone.

How long does a tenant screening take?

Credit results are usually available as soon as the applicant completes their step. Identity and criminal record checks are typically delivered within 1–3 business days.

Who pays for the screening?

Either the landlord or the applicant can pay. You choose when you place the order.

Does Vcheck tell me whether to approve an applicant?

No. Reports contain factual information from the source agencies only — no scores, labels or recommendations. The rental decision is yours.

Can I screen tenants anywhere in Canada?

Yes. Vcheck works the same way in every province: you order online and the applicant completes consent and ID verification remotely.
