About Us

SmartTenantScreening.com is dedicated to finding the best quality tenants for for property owners, landlords, and property management companies. Our tenant screening service provides landlords with a tenant recommendation while also providing tenant applicants with the information and resources they need to make a great leasing decision.

Founded in 2009, SmartTenantScreening.com is managed by Rick Ryerson, an investor with more than 40 years of experience as a landlord and property owner.

We believe that the best rental properties start with a landlord/tenant relationship that's based on trust and respect. Our comprehensive tenant screening service – which includes tenant credit and tenant background checks – is designed to foster trust between landlords and tenants. Trust is a two-way street, so we also pride ourselves on also offering resources for tenants. Our tenants rights guide and rental rate comparison tool help renters make certain that their rights are being protected at the best value for their dollar.
