Abstract: Systems and methods for screening applicants are disclosed herein. A method of screening applicants is performed by a screening server. The server begins by receiving a selection of screening services and an applicant profile that identifies an applicant. The screening continues by generating screening results specified by the selection of screening services based on the applicant profile. A property manager is then notified that the screening results are available for the applicant based upon the applicant profile. The screening results are then provided to the property manager based upon the applicant profile. Based on these screening results, the screener or porperty manager can make a decision about the applicant and communicate a decision action to the applicant.

Abstract: A system of screening servers, screener client computers, and screening kiosks distribute an applicant screening process among multiple sites and multiple participants. To facilitate and secure communications of screening results and applicant actions, a personal identification code is provided that identifies individual sets of screening results. In this manner, the applicant is authenticated and can then enter appropriate applicant profile data into a secure screening account, such as via a screening kiosk. Screening results may be generated by the applicant in association with a unique personal identification code. This code can then be communicated to the screener, who can access the screening results along with a recommendation, if desired, by sending the code to a screening server. The screener can also enter appropriate screening information into another secure screening account.

Abstract: A risk-based pricing system for computing rental pricing based on the background information on an individual applicant and property-specific information is provided. Rental pricing, such as rent payments and deposits, is computed by determining a risk score corresponding to the applicant. The risk score may be based on a credit score of the applicant and rental history information of the applicant. The risk score is input to a deposit computer that determines an appropriate deposit requirement for the applicant. A property portfolio profile and a population sample set may be used to generate a property risk model, which can be used to further tailor the deposit requirement computed for a given applicant and a given property. An insurance computer can also compute an insurance premium for an insurance product associated with the applicant.
