  • Tenant related background research
  • Focus on accuracy and verifiable information

Important
Pro Legal Support Services is not a consumer reporting agency. The information we provide is not a “consumer report” as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and may not be used to determine eligibility for housing, credit, employment, or insurance.

Overview

Pro Legal Support Services provides tenant-related background research using verified public records and investigative tools. Our services are designed to supplement standard tenant screening platforms by offering deeper insight into publicly available data.

We work with landlords, property managers, and legal professionals who need additional context beyond automated screening tools.

What We Provide with Our Tenant Background Research

Our research may include:

  • Eviction records (public court filings)
  • Criminal court records (where permitted by law)
  • Civil litigation and judgement searches
  • Address history and identity correlation
  • Associated records tied to public filings

All findings are based on publicly available information and compiled for informational purposes only.

What We Do Not Provide

  • Credit reports or credit scores
  • FCRA-compliant tenant screening reports
  • Rental payment history or lease performance data
  • Approve/deny recommendations or eligibility determinations

Recommended Screening Approach

For compliant tenant screening, including credit reports, we recommend using a trusted FCRA-compliant platform such as TransUnion SmartMove or a similar provider.

Our services are best used as a supplemental layer when additional background insight or verification is needed.

Common Use Cases

Our services are commonly used when:

  • A screening report raises questions that require deeper review
  • Additional verification is needed on a prospective tenant
  • Legal or investigative context is required
  • Public record history needs to be independently confirmed

Our Approach

  • Manual review of public records
  • Cross-referencing multiple data sources
  • Focus on accuracy and verifiable information
  • Fast turnaround and clear reporting

Permissible Use

Use of our services requires a lawful and permissible purpose. We reserve the right to decline requests that do not meet applicable legal standards.
