I wasn't sold on them either in the beginning when I was looking into credit screening, but the ease of use and name recognition have a lot to do with it. Again, I don't think their background check is of any value, you still need to google the person's name, email address, check Facebook, check county judicial records databases (usually online in larger counties like DeKalb). I like that the tenant pays for it, they don't give me any money and it isn't a lot of money. I don't know what apartment complexes are doing with the $50 app fee they all seem to charge, because most of them are not pulling complete criminal background reports on tenants, they'd never accept anyone if they did.
