Screening Error

Created by Paul Hoffman, Modified on Tue, Apr 30, 2024 at 10:47 AM by Paul Hoffman

When you screen an applicant and the Decision is: ERROR, you must drill down into SafeRent to determine what the cause is.  

  1. Click on Screening Results
  2. Click on the 3 dots and then click on "View." This will open SafeRent
  3. Review the Property Management Score Recommendation & Property Management CrimSafe Recommendation.  
    1. Typically for the "ERROR", this has to do with the "Credit".  
  4. Click on "Open All"
  5. Under the "Alert" Section - review what is listed.  
    1. Credit Freeze - Will state to call Equifax 
    2. Matched Potential Fraud ID - Will state to call Equifax
    3. Fraud Alert - May request that we contact the applicant at the number listed.  



  • The applicant must call Equifax and have the fraud freeze lifted.  
  • They need to provide the following information as the Screening company name: 
    • SafeRent, ResidentScreening.net, S2 Residential, Your Property Name 
  • Ask for freeze to be lifted for at least 4 days.They need to let you know when the credit freeze is lifted and how long it should take for the freeze to be lifted.  



They must also let you know the following:
  • How long will it take the credit to be unfrozen?
    • Sometimes, the credit record is unfrozen immediately and other times it takes up to 30-days - depending on the company and type of freeze they placed.
  • Make sure they contact you the same day they unfreeze the credit?
