Employment Verification

Employment verification is a proven method to obtain direct confirmation. By contacting the applicant’s employer, you can confirm their current employment status. This step reassures landlords that the applicant is actively employed and capable of meeting rent obligations. The added benefit is credibility. While applicants can manipulate documents, it is much harder to falsify confirmation from a legitimate employer. You can add an employment verification to any AAOA tenant screening order for only $15 or buy it a la carte for $16.99.
