No longer pay multiple Application fees
Under New York Real Property Law § 238-a, landlords must waive any application or screening fee if a prospective tenant provides a Portable Tenant Screening Report (PTSR) generated within the last 30 days. This law was designed to ease the financial strain on renters navigating one of the most competitive rental markets in the world.
The Math of Moving Smarter
Most successful renters apply to at least 5 properties before securing their next home.
- The Traditional Way: 9 Landlords × 9 Screening Fees (Avg. $20 each) = $180.00
- The Portable Way: Unlimited Shares × 1 Reusable Report = $59.95
- Your Immediate Savings: $120.00
Pro Tip: New York caps screening fees at $20 per application — but those fees still add up fast across multiple applications. Put those savings toward your security deposit or moving costs instead of paying for redundant background checks.

The Speed to Lease: Be "Approval Ready" Before You Tour
The Speed to Lease: Win in the Nation’s #4 Most Competitive Market
In New York’s high-demand markets — from the luxury towers of Manhattan’s Hudson Yards and Hell’s Kitchen to the thriving brownstone neighborhoods of Brooklyn and the fast-rising corridors of Queens — apartments rent in days, not weeks. Manhattan apartments averaged just 36 days on the market in 2025, down from 40 the year before.
- Zero Wait Time: While others wait days for a new background check to clear, you are “Approval Ready” the moment you tour.
- Skip the Line: Hand the landlord a verified, state-compliant Portable Tenant Screening Report on the spot — and have your application considered immediately.
- Be Pre-Approved: Why wait until after the tour? Our PTSR allows you to get approved in advance, so you only spend time viewing places where you’re already cleared to move in. Apply broadly, move fast, and skip the budget constraints. You are now in control!

Know Your Rights: 100% New York State Law Compliant
Under New York Real Property Law § 238-a (Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act), the power has shifted to the tenant.
- Fee Waiver Mandate: If you provide a Portable Tenant Screening Report (PTSR) generated within the last 30 days, the landlord must waive any application or screening fee. They cannot charge you to review your report. → NY RPL § 238-a
- Fee Cap Protection: Even without a PTSR, New York caps screening fees at your actual screening cost or $20 — whichever is lower. Landlords cannot profit from application fees. → NY RPL § 238-a
- Receipt Required: Landlords must provide you with a copy of the background or credit check they obtain, along with the receipt or invoice from the screening agency. No hidden charges. → NY RPL § 238-a
- Adverse Action Rights: If denied based on a consumer report, landlords must give you a copy of the report and information about your right to dispute inaccurate information under the FCRA. → 15 U.S.C. § 1681m (FCRA)
- Source of Income Protection: New York State strictly prohibits source of income discrimination. Landlords must accept Section 8 vouchers, housing subsidies, Social Security, Veterans Disability, and other lawful income sources on equal terms with employment income. → NY Human Rights Law § 296(5)
- Criminal History Fairness (NYC): Under the Fair Chance for Housing Act (Local Law 24, effective January 1, 2025), NYC landlords must evaluate your full application — income, credit, rental history — before reviewing any criminal background. Only certain recent convictions may be considered. → NYC Admin. Code § 8-107(11-a)
- The 30-Day Standard: To stay compliant and qualify for the fee waiver under § 238-a, your PTSR must be generated within the last 30 days. → NY RPL § 238-a

Common Questions About New York Portable Tenant Screening Reports
Information based on New York Real Property Law § 238-a and the Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act (HSTPA).
Under New York Real Property Law § 238-a, if you provide a Portable Tenant Screening Report (PTSR) generated within the last 30 days, the landlord must waive any application or screening fee. While landlords are not universally mandated to accept your report in lieu of conducting their own, they cannot charge you a fee if you provide one. In practice, many New York landlords welcome PTSRs as they speed up the leasing process for both parties.
A standard credit check is ordered — and paid for — by each landlord every time you apply to a new property. With our New York PTSR powered by TransUnion™, you pay once ($59.95) and share the same verified, state-compliant report with up to 150 landlords within 30 days. Under § 238-a, that means each landlord who receives your report must waive their screening fee.
Yes. Our platform is powered by TransUnion™, a National Credit Reporting Agency (CRA). Reports are delivered through a secure, tamper-proof system. Landlords access your report only by your invitation, and all data is handled in full compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and New York State law.
If you provide a valid PTSR generated within the last 30 days and a landlord still attempts to charge you a screening or application fee, they are in violation of New York Real Property Law § 238-a. You should document the request and may file a complaint with the New York State Attorney General’s Office or seek advice from a tenant rights organization.
If you are applying for a rental in New York City, the Fair Chance for Housing Act (Local Law 24, effective January 1, 2025) means a landlord must first evaluate the rest of your application — including your credit, income, and rental history from our report — before reviewing any criminal background. This strengthens the value of your PTSR: your financial and rental credentials are seen first, giving you a fairer shot at the unit before criminal history is ever considered.
Disclaimer
*$20 Per Report Estimate: Based on the New York State application fee cap established under Real Property Law § 238-a (Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act, 2019). While individual fees are capped at the actual cost of screening or $20 (whichever is lower), costs accumulate across multiple applications. The $180 estimate (9 applications × $20) represents a conservative baseline; renters applying in high-competition submarkets may spend more time and indirect costs without a PTSR.
