One Bad Tenant Can Cost You Over $10,000 in Canada
Between lost rent, property damage, LTB hearings, and legal fees, an unscreened tenant is the most expensive mistake a Canadian landlord can make.
Lost Rental Income
Ontario's Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) backlog means eviction hearings can take 4+ months. That is 4 months of zero rent from a tenant who stopped paying.
Property Damage
Without a proper tenant background check, you have no way to verify rental history. Previous landlords could tell you a lot — but only if you know to ask.
Scattered Workflow
Most landlords use one tool for listings, another for applications, visit a third site for credit checks, then manually track everything in spreadsheets.
From Listing to Lease — Screening Built Into Every Step
Mi Property Portal is not just a screening tool. It is the only Canadian property management platform where tenant screening is seamlessly built into your lead management workflow.
Your prospects do not need to fill out a separate screening application. The report comes back to the lead details page — so all prospect data stays in one place, forever.
What Is Included in Your Tenant Background Check
Every screening report includes a full Equifax credit check, criminal record search, identity verification, and more — delivered in 5 to 10 minutes directly to your dashboard.
Equifax Credit Report
Full credit history, credit score, outstanding debts, payment patterns, and financial reliability assessment.
Criminal Record Check
Searches 200,000+ databases across 240+ countries for criminal convictions, charges, and court records.
Identity Verification
Validates the applicant's identity using government ID, address history, and personal information matching.
Eviction History
Reveals past evictions, LTB rulings, and landlord-tenant disputes through public records databases.
Social Media Scan
Scans publicly available social media profiles for additional validation and behavioural signals.
Rent-to-Income Analysis
Calculates debt-to-income ratio and rent affordability so you can assess the tenant's ability to pay.
Screening reports powered by Equifax credit data, delivered through our integrated screening partner.
