SoftScreen combines rental screening with applications, income verification and secure document sharing for renters and real estate professionals. Its screening package includes a TransUnion full credit report and score, plus criminal-background and eviction reports. SoftScreen describes its credit reports as soft pulls that do not hurt credit or lower scores. Renters can complete applications and upload documents such as pay stubs, photo ID and W-2s. Income verification can provide bank-supplied financial information that includes wage direct deposits. Renters can revoke access to previously shared information using Un-Share. In certain markets, MLS-linked rental-address entry is available, subject to broker participation. The broker page describes FCRA and national, state and local compliance features. Landlords and real estate professionals have a free option. The renter plan costs 49.95 USD once and includes 30 days of unlimited use; it is not a subscription and does not incur ongoing charges. The refund policy says transactions are final and refunds cannot be issued.
