Apply to multiple rentals without paying multiple screening fees.

A Rent Ready Report is a tenant-purchased screening report that may be reused for multiple rental applications when it meets Illinois legal requirements.

How it works

Step 1:Complete your screening once

Apply to multiple rentals without paying multiple screening fees. You complete a secure screening that includes:

  • identity verification

  • credit information

  • eviction history

  • income verification

  • other lawful screening components

Step 2: Receive your Rent Ready Report

You receive:

  • a time-stamped report

  • a secure portal to access your report

  • a clearly displayed expiration date

Step 3: Share with any landlord or broker

You may share your report with any participating landlord or broker at no cost to you or them.

Step 4: Landlords review and decide

Landlords and brokers review the report and apply their own lawful screening standards.

Rent Ready Illinois does not make housing decisions.

Important Legal Notice

Under Illinois law, reusable tenant screening reports must be prepared within 30 days to qualify for reuse.

In Chicago, Cook County and Illinois, renting can be confusing. Rent Ready Illinois lets renters complete a reusable tenant screening report just once. Based on Illinois law (effective 2025) a landlord must accept a reusable tenant screening report.
