Helen's Hints

Hints for getting 
Criminal & Eviction Reports
(Currently under construction)

Hint #1: To get reports you will need your account number and password.  Criminal Records and Eviction Searches are available 24/7/365

Hint #2: After logging in you will need to check the box acknowledging the information and disclaimer.  It's required.

Hint #3: Insert the First and Last name of the individual, do not use an middle initial.  Spelling is critical.

Hint #4:  Below the name fields you will notice the three choices of Searches to Perform.
  
     1.) Public Records are Unlawful Detainer filings (Eviction Records, $4.00 on line) for the State of Washington. 

     2.) Criminal Searches are statewide searches for the state/s you select.  Search as many states as you want for $10.

    3.) Prior Records Searches  (free on line) will tell you if Rental Research has ever processed a report on this individual.  If a report was done within 30 days and you have a signed application, the report will be provided to you at no cost upon request.

Hint #5:  When doing a criminal records search you select the states you want to search by holding down the control key and left mouse clicking.  If the person has a very common name like James Smith you will get a lot of responses.  Look at the rental application and credit file to see what states they've lived in.

Hint #6: When you get a "Hit" on a name you must identify that  person.  Criminal Records will give you the date of birth, middle name, and a physical description.  Eviction Records are name match only.  Prior Reports require that you have the Social Security Number.

Remember, if you have any questions just call us (800-654-4936).

Thank You.
