New screening system a credit to landlords.

On-Site.com, a leader in Web-based resident screening and lease technology for apartment managers, has introduced a new level of risk scoring to the multifamily industry.

In addition to traditional credit histories, which are widely used to rank potential renters, On-Site.com's service allows managers to approve more applications by focusing on attributes that predict quality renters and ignoring those that do not.

On-Site.com analyzes raw data provided by sources such as credit bureaus, fraud databases, landlord/tenant court records, criminal courthouses, sex offender registries and terrorist watch-lists, and presents a single report tailored to the needs of each landlord. The system delivers a recommendation to rent using customizable variables useful in predicting resident behavior, rather than generic scores that are not helpful. The On-Site recommendation incorporates each management company's own policies, rather than using a "black box" formula to measure theoretical risk.

A model like On-Site's is able to offer instant approvals by automating the evaluation of prospective residents.
