COSTA MESA, Calif., Jan. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Experian®, the global information services company, today announced its new Website designed specifically for the tenant screening industry. Through the site, property managers and tenant screeners will benefit from products and services that will provide convenient and secure access to tenant payment history, length of residence and fraudulent application information.

"With access to the right tools, tenant screeners and property managers can easily determine the most qualified tenants, giving them peace of mind that their properties will be rented to the best applicants," said Steve Wagner, president,  Experian Consumer Information Services. "Experian's new site not only offers a credit report and score, but now enables users to receive an instant decision based on the criteria they've customized and selected."
