PR - RentBureau Data Added to SelectRent

Atlanta-based RentBureau, the first national online repository of rental payment histories, has aligned with RHR Information Services, Inc. to make apartment rental payment histories available as part of SelectRent, RHR’s comprehensive residential screening service, announced Bill Garrity, RentBureau, senior vice president of Member Services. 

Through its alliance with RentBureau, multifamily owners and managers using SelectRent will have access to over three and a half million rental payment records available through RentBureau’s National Rental Data Exchange (NRDE) database.    

“By adding RentBureau’s rental payment data to our reports, we can provide our clients with a wider, more comprehensive view of potential residents’ ability to pay rent, thereby reducing their risk of skips, evictions, and bad debt,” said Tony Karels, National Sales Manager for RHR Information Services. SelectRent is currently used by the owners and managers of over 100,000 apartment units in Minnesota.

RentBureau’s rental payment data will be used by Minnesota apartment owners and managers to make informed leasing decisions that will improve the value of their properties,” said Garrity. “RHR Information Services recognizes that previous rental histories are a great predictor of future rental payments.”

RentBureau is the first national system providing apartment owners and managers with accurate and current rental payment histories of apartment residents and applicants. Every 24 hours, RentBureau automatically and securely collects resident rental payment information from its members’ existing property management software. RHR Information Services is a leader in pre-employment and residential background screening services in the Midwest marketplace.
