Automate Resident Screening

In Senior Living

By Natalie Mahn on Oct 5, 2021 in Senior Living

On the road to filling vacancies, property managers must carefully evaluate prospective residents. From examining criminal history to verifying income, the screening process is a critical step. This holds true for senior living providers working to identify new residents for their communities.

And while resident screening may sound simple, checking for various requirements — for each individual prospect — is a challenge.

That’s why providers need an automated system for resident screening. Fortunately for Yardi clients using RentCafe Senior CRM, that exact system is now available. Meet ScreeningWorks Pro, Yardi’s tenant background check solution.

Why use resident screening?

By using ScreeningWorks Pro to screen prospective residents, providers access key information in real time. And with a proven solution like ScreeningWorks Pro, results are comprehensive and customized to meet your criteria.

Best of all, everything is compiled in one centralized system. That’s because ScreeningWorks Pro is integrated with the Voyager leasing workflow in RentCafe Senior CRM. This means the interface can communicate back and forth with ScreeningWorks Pro to:

• Submit applicant information for screening
• Submit changes to existing screenings
• Communicate application results back into the system’s screening page
