Landlords can make their search stronger with the following ala carte background screenings that are offered exclusively by AAGLA Screening:

Exclusive Lease Guarantee and Security Deposit Alternative
Lease Guarantee provides payment of all unpaid rent, damages, legal fees, and costs owed by a tenant to their landlord when a court judgment is rendered in favor of the property owner. The Lease Guarantee contract, which is valid for one year and covers all individuals on the lease agreement, can be paid for by the landlord, qualified tenant, or both. Many landlords utilize Lease Guarantee as a security deposit alternative and the coverage is renewable annually. Protection can range from $1,000 to $10,000 per new lease beginning at just $199 per year. Each credit report includes the Lease Guarantee Analyzer which will tell you if your applicant qualifies for the program.
