The problem for property managers and tenant-screening providers
- Applicants move across state lines; single-state checks miss them
- Leasing decisions can’t wait on slow, manual registry lookups
- Fair-housing and state-law limits vary by jurisdiction
Outcomes
- Screen applicants in the leasing flow, not after
- Monitor a portfolio by area on a schedule
- Keep a source-verified record of each check
How Offendersearch helps
Address & radius search
Search by city, ZIP, or lat/lng with a radius to screen applicants and monitor a portfolio’s neighborhoods.
Nationwide in one call
Catch prior registrations in other states, not just where the applicant currently lives.
Typed addresses
Residence, secondary, employment, and school addresses return as separate typed entries, with coordinates where geocoded.
Questions from property managers and tenant-screening providers
Can I search around a property address?
Yes. Provide a ZIP or coordinates with a radius to return registrants near a location. Radius matching sees only records we have geocoded — the large majority, but not all — so pair it with a name or ZIP search when completeness matters.
Are there fair-housing limits?
Decisions based on this data are regulated; consult counsel for your jurisdictions and keep a human making the final call, with the search supplying the evidence.
Registry and criminal records on one key
Most property managers and tenant-screening providers need more than one check, and running two vendors means two integrations, two contracts and two invoices. Both run on the same account, the same key and the same response shape.
