“Not an owner- but a tenant. I have two large dogs, pets. I was worried that I would not be able to find a rental that would accept them. I was really skeptical about the pet screening thing. I guess the owner was not going to allow large dogs, but was impressed with their paw score and decided to allow them. I don’t think that we would have been given chance without the pet screening.
Hear What Our Sharks Have to Say
Carrie J.
“They made it so easy for me to choose a tenant! Not only that, but I didn’t have to deal with all the lookie-loos in the process! I only booked showings with qualified applicants!”
Muhammed M.
“I have several rentals. I’m just too busy to answer phone calls and texts all day from people wanting to rent one of them. I’ll be honest, the set-up was more of a process than I was expecting, but overall I saved so much time that I will be using them again.”
Elle S.
“We moved for work, and with the market downturn, we wanted to wait to sell our home. I’ve been a renter, but I’ve never been a landlord. I had no idea how to get started. I feel like so much of the stress was removed when I decided to try Tenant Sharks.”
J. Thompson
“We have always been able to get people quickly with just our yard sign and news paper ads. We didn’t need anything fancy. Unfortunately, you just can’t do it old school anymore. People want to sue you for everything these days, evidently you can’t say it’s family friendly anymore. Not worth the risk of doing something wrong. If you don’t have an attorney writing your ads or your lease… maybe you should use Tenant Sharks.
Mark B.
“Once I got my property set up with their onboarding team, the process was really quick. I really appreciated how they communicated at each milestone. I was presented with my applicants within a week of listing. Fantastic applicants! Or I guess I should have said “Fintastic!”

Frequently Asked Questions
I’m a Realtor. Is Tenant Sharks right for me?
Without a doubt! When you need to place a tenant in a client’s property, and you need it to be fast and easy. We take that off your plate so you can focus on what you love most: Sales!
What do your screening services include?
Before we present a tenant to you we use the following objective criteria to formulate our FINTASTIC SCORE:
- Full credit report: credit score, credit history and collections history
- Comprehensive criminal background check, even state specific criminal history. (Did you know not all records can be found with a federal only search in some cases?!)
- Complete housing background: rental history, evictions and delinquencies history.
What about pets?
70% of households have pets, so there’s a good chance you’ll have a tenant who has a Pet, an Emotional Support Animal or a Service Animal. You don’t want to have the liability of denying a legitimate Support or Service Animal, but you should also have some protection from illegitimate claims. We love pets, and because of that we want to make sure that landlords have the best tools available and the confidence to allow them.
We have partnered with the premier pet screening company- PetScreening.com to help our clients and their tenants. If a tenant applies and has any of the above, they will be prompted to complete a pet profile. PetScreening.com will then provide us with a summary that will be included with your tenants FINTASTIC SCORE if they have a pet.
How quickly will I have a tenant?
We know how important it is to get a highly qualified tenant into your property. We pride ourselves on a quick turnaround. Once you sign with us, we need to collect a lot of information from you about the property. The faster we get the intake information, the faster we can get your property in front of applicants. Once we have everything we need from you, our averages are:
- 2 days to list on all platforms and send your listing to our prescreened applicants who may have matched with your listing.
- 1-10 days to present you with 2 highly qualified applicants. We want to make sure we are thoroughly screening your applicants and their animals.
- 3 days to close. This means that you and an applicant have "matched" and that you are both ready to move forward. In this 3 day window, you will both sign leases, you will collect your deposit from the tenant, and arrange for the tenant to get keys.
Expect the average placement to take 2-3 weeks. These averages can be longer- or shorter!- depending on circumstances.
How does your pricing work?
One flat fee covers it all:
- A compelling, well-advertised listing of your property
- Two completely vetted, best-fit, high-quality applicants for your consideration
- Completion of leasing paperwork
- Compliance with all Fair Housing regulations and state laws
We also offer add-on products like yard signs and window clings, if those are right for your property.
Do you offer a guarantee?
If you follow our marketing and performance strategies, and we are not able to provide you with two quality applicants in 30 days of your listing being posted, we will issue a refund for our direct services.*
* Costs incurred for advertising or screening will be deducted from the refunded amount as they are billed by a third party.
