What RentButter is

RentButter brings tenant screening together with identity, income, employment and fraud checks for workforce housing leasing decisions. Its workflow produces a report covering identity, financial details, background findings and fraud signals. Identity verification checks government ID documents, confirms faces in real time and reviews personal information. Financial assessment combines predictive credit behavior analytics with income and employment verification and housing history analysis. Background screening searches criminal records across local, state and national databases, with jurisdictional safeguards. Fraud analysis considers identity, behavior, device risk, financial information and documents. Rent Butter says most screenings finish in under five minutes and describes its workflows as designed around FCRA requirements, jurisdiction-aware rules and audit-ready reporting.

The Butter API supports reports in JSON/XML or HTML/PDF, with results retrievable by status or deliverable by webhook or email. Sidecar puts resident screening, income verification and background checks in a side panel alongside property management software. Named supported systems include Rent Manager, ManageAmerica, Yardi and AppFolio. Plans span individual landlords through professional and large-scale property managers. Standard starts at $25, paid once, stated as $25 per screen; Professional starts at $35, paid once, stated as $35 for screening with verifications. Individual Landlord and Enterprise / Custom pricing is available by contact.
