# What is Burnt tenant screening

## What Burnt tenant screening is, who uses it, and why the six checks come in one package.

Burnt tenant screening is a service that helps housing providers evaluate prospective renters. Each screening delivers six verification checks in a single package: identity, income, employment, credit, background, and eviction. Payment is handled as part of the same flow.

**Why it is delivered as one package**

Assembling a complete picture of an applicant usually means using several separate tools and then reconciling the results. Burnt brings the six checks together so that operators review one screening and applicants complete one application.

**Who uses Burnt**

*Operators*, meaning landlords, property managers, and agents, set up units, define screening criteria, and review results.

*Applicants*, meaning prospective renters, complete the verification steps after they are invited.

**How to learn more**

- Operators should start with *Welcome to Burnt tenant screening*.
- Applicants should start with *What to expect when you are invited to apply*.
- For how data is protected, see *How Burnt protects applicant data*.
