Tenant Screening Toronto: Credit & Criminal Checks Online

Screen rental applicants in Toronto online, with consent: ID verification, Equifax credit and criminal record checks in one report. Tenant packages from $99.99.

Landlords and property managers in Toronto can run consent-based tenant screening entirely online. You order the checks, the applicant completes consent and ID verification on their phone, and the results come back to you in one secure report.

What a typical rental screening includes

• Identity verification using a government photo ID
• Equifax credit report, with the applicant's consent
• Canadian criminal record check, with the applicant's consent
• Optional employment verification to confirm current work

How it works

• Choose a tenant package and enter the applicant's name and email.
• Vcheck emails the applicant a secure consent link.
• The applicant reviews the disclosure, gives consent and verifies their ID.
• You follow progress in your dashboard and open the report when it's ready.

Rules to keep in mind in Ontario

For tenancy rules such as deposits and inspections, see the Landlord and Tenant Board and our step-by-step guide for Ontario: vcheck.ca/guides/how-to-screen-a-tenant-in-ontario.
