You applied for an apartment. You did everything right. And then you got a denial letter citing a third-party tenant screening report – with no real explanation of what went wrong.

SafeRent Solutions is one of the largest tenant screening companies in the country. When SafeRent's report contains errors – and errors are common – the consequences can follow you from one application to the next until you know what to look for and how to push back.
