Latest Scoop!

Current RRI Members now have a choice of three levels of service.

Limited Membership
No new paperwork or action needed.  Limited members can get nationwide criminal, eviction and reference verifications, but no credit file info.

Pass/Fail Membership--Requires re-certification of account (new paperwork), but no on-site inspection. Pass/Fail Members give us their criteria on their perspective applicant. We access the credit file and tell you whether or not they meet your criteria. We cannot divulge specific information from the credit file, and cannot send the credit info with the report.

Certified Membership--Requires Business Membership Application, Banking Reference, Letter of Intent and On-site inspection. Certified members will still be able to receive full credit file information.

Let us know which level of Membership you are interested in, and we can get you the paperwork you need (if any).

New Members can qualify for the first two levels with proper documentation and paperwork. To qualify for Certified Membership, they must have a Business License, LLC or Corporation which pertains to their landlord or property management activities.
