Based on tenant's credit reports, landlords prefer tenants with a VantageScore over 650, as it signifies financial reliability and a lower risk of late payments or defaults. The score is determined by financial factors such as:
Payment History
Age and Type of Credit
Credit Utilization
Total Balances and Debt
Recent Credit Behavior/Inquiries
Available Credit
Reduce financial risks by screening tenants based on an advanced, data-driven credit score that predicts future credit behavior, ensuring stable, long-term tenants.
VantageScore is useful when evaluating new-to-credit applicants, allowing landlords to welcome a wider range of tenants overlooked by traditional scoring models.
VantageScore is designed to better predict future financial behavior, assisting you with an edge in making well-informed decisions that reduce risks.
VantageScore 3.0 uses a soft inquiry, meaning no impact on the tenant's credit score—unlike traditional systems that may trigger a hard inquiry.

A VantageScore credit of 650 or higher is considered good for tenant screening, indicating reliable financial behavior. LeaseRunner’s screening uses the VantageScore 3.0 model to provide accurate financial insights into potential tenants.
FICO and VantageScore 3.0 are both widely used credit scoring models, but they differ in how they calculate scores. VantageScore 3.0 uses a broader data set, including information from 36 million consumers who may have limited credit history, while FICO tends to focus on more traditional credit behaviors.
Many landlords rely on both FICO and VantageScore, but some landlords and property owners prefer VantageScore 3.0 for mortgage and tenant screening due to its broader data scope and ability to assess tenants with less credit history.
