"By providing access to the SafeRent applicant screening services from our Rheo property management application, our joint customers will receive greatly increased benefits with virtually no additional effort," says Chris Maners, vice president of business development for Koriel. "This seamless delivery of complementary productivity tools is a concrete example of the potential that Web-based, enterprise class business applications hold for the multi-housing industry."

SafeRent online applicant screening incorporates an applicant's credit history, rental history and the option of a criminal search. Property managers use these applicant screenings to make more informed decisions in the acceptance of new residents.

"The multifamily housing industry has consistently shown a need for integrated property management solutions," says Linda Bush, CEO of SafeRent. "Customers learn one system and avoid duplicating tasks such as data input and retrieval. The new partnership with Koriel offers our mutual customers a web-based management system that reduces vacancies and bad debt and is fast, accurate and easy to use."
