Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about LeaseDefend™ screening reports and portable passports.

Pro Screening includes your complete LeaseWorthy™ financial evaluation (bank-verified income, cash flow, and 12-month on-time payment history) PLUS nationwide criminal records (500M+ database), 50-state sex offender registry, OFAC terrorist watchlists, and nationwide civil eviction records.

The Portable Passport unlocks unlimited report sharing with any landlord or property manager for 30 full days. You can apply to multiple rental properties without ever paying another application fee. It is fully compliant with state portable screening legislation (such as Colorado HB23-1099, Washington, California, and New York).

The Couple bundle provides two complete, independent Portable Passports for couples, roommates, or co-applicants for a single payment of $139.99, saving $39.99 vs buying two individual passports ($179.98). The primary applicant purchases the bundle, and their co-applicant receives a secure invitation to complete their screening with a $0 pre-paid checkout.

Absolutely not! LeaseDefend™ never performs hard credit inquiries and will never affect your credit score or leave an inquiry footprint. We verify real financial reliability directly through secure, read-only 256-bit encrypted bank connections.

Property managers can sign up 100% free to invite applicants to submit screening reports with zero out-of-pocket costs for the landlord. For larger portfolios wishing to sponsor and cover screening costs upfront, we offer enterprise volume plans with consolidated billing and API integration.
