RentGrow is a provider of resident screening services to property owners and managers. At the request of the property owner or manager, RentGrow generates a resident screening report about applicants to their properties, which may include your credit history, rental history and other publicly reportable civil or criminal records, if any.
Please Note:
RentGrow does not make rental decisions and does not set eligibility criteria for any property.
All eligibility criteria are set and all rental decisions are made by the property owner or manager at each property.
Once RentGrow receives your dispute, we will begin processing it as soon as possible. In most cases, RentGrow must submit the dispute on your behalf to the company that furnished the disputed information to RentGrow. With a few exceptions, the Fair Credit Reporting Act requires that these companies complete their investigations within 30 days, but in many cases disputes are completed much sooner. RentGrow will notify you that your dispute is underway and will notify you again as soon as the dispute has been completed.
No. RentGrow does not make rental decisions and does not set the eligibility criteria for any property. All eligibility criteria are set and all rental decisions are made by the property owner or manager at each property. The “result” that appears on your tenant screening report reflects whether the information in your screening report meets that property’s particular requirements.
If RentGrow appears as an inquiry on your credit report, it is probably because:
- You applied for an apartment that uses RentGrow’s services around the date of the inquiry;
- You submitted an application as a co-signer (or guarantor) for someone else who applied for an apartment around the date of the inquiry; or
- Your lease was up for renewal around the date of the inquiry and you were rescreened by the property.
If none of these apply to you, please submit a dispute at https://www.rentgrow.com/dispute-now. If the inquiry was not valid, RentGrow will submit an inquiry dispute on your behalf to the appropriate credit bureau.
