What AmRent does

AmRent is a US-based consumer reporting agency (founded 1985, headquartered in Atlanta, GA, with 101-250 employees) that provides tenant-screening services to landlords and property-management companies throughout the United States. Its product suite spans credit reports drawing on all three national credit repositories, multi-state and county-level criminal record searches, nationwide housing-court eviction records, identity verification (Cross Check, including a Synthetic ID Indicator and OFAC screening), and consumer-permissioned income verification delivered in partnership with Ibbie. AmRent does not maintain its own consumer database; it resells credit, criminal, and eviction data from third-party providers to customers operating under permissible purpose under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and related laws.

Underlying technology is a web-based resident-screening platform that integrates directly with multiple property-management software systems (including Rent Manager and CBCWeb), enabling landlords to order, retrieve, and audit screening results inside their existing workflows. The standalone web portal is positioned for portfolios not covered by a PMS integration. The company markets a customer-service-driven sales motion — account executives and toll-free phone/email support (800-324-3681, [email protected]) — supplemented by training webinars, industry-association presence (CDIA, NAA, NMHC), and educational content.

AmRent monetizes on a per-transaction basis by reselling consumer reports and add-on modules (Cross Check, Income Verification); pricing is quote-based rather than publicly disclosed. The customer base is described as distributed across the US rental-housing industry, with no named enterprise logos or concentration data disclosed. Compliance posture is anchored to FCRA Section 607(b) accuracy procedures and the California Investigative Consumer Reporting Agencies Act.
