What LeaseRunner.com does

LeaseRunner.com (legal entity: LeaseRunner, Ltd., Colorado, founded circa 2010) is a U.S. SaaS platform that delivers an end-to-end digital tenant screening and lease management workflow for individual landlords, small property owners, and property managers. The platform combines credit reporting from Experian (including VantageScore 3.0), criminal background records and eviction history from CIC Reports, income and payroll verification, state-compliant lease templates for all 50 U.S. states, electronic lease creation and e-signature, and ACH-based online rent collection — accessed through a single landlord dashboard and mobile-friendly tenant application flow.

The underlying technology is a cloud-based, web-delivered SaaS product with no native mobile app, no public API or SDK, and integrations limited to credit bureau (Experian) and background data (CIC Reports) reseller connections. Data handling is described as SSL-encrypted with firewall-protected servers and FCRA/Fair Housing compliance built into the screening workflow, including adverse action letter templates. Operational mechanics support instantaneous screening after applicant authorization and batch document delivery to multiple tenants.

The business model is purely transactional (pay-per-applicant, no monthly fees), with four publicly disclosed tiers: Basic ($17), Pro ($40), Ultimate ($54, most popular), and Premium ($64), plus À la Carte single-purchase options and a free rental application form. Screening fees can be allocated to the tenant or landlord. The company sells exclusively through its website as a self-serve product with no sales team, channel resellers, or geographic markets outside the United States. Marketing relies on content marketing, SEO via 50 state law pages, email, and Zendesk-hosted customer support. Leadership consists of founder and CEO Joseph Buczkowski and Vice President of Operations Jitka Bedford; the company is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding.
