Screen applicants with confidence.
Shuk pulls credit, criminal background, eviction, and rental-history reports from a trusted screening partner — so you can evaluate applicants with real data instead of a gut feeling. You still make the call, with better information to back it up.
Four-in-one reports
Credit, criminal background, eviction history, and rental history — all in one report you can pull in minutes, not days.
02
You stay in the driver's seat
Shuk doesn't auto-approve or auto-deny. You see the data, you make the decision — with a real paper trail if a rejection is ever questioned.
03
Applicant-paid, if you want
Pass the screening fee to the applicant at invitation, or cover it yourself. Either way the report flows directly into their profile.
Thoroughness
The reports you actually need
Good screening means seeing the full picture. A credit score alone doesn't tell you whether someone paid rent on time last year, and a clean criminal record doesn't tell you whether they were evicted three months ago. Shuk pulls all four signals together so you can evaluate the whole person.
Credit report
Score, payment history, debt load, and recent inquiries — the inputs that actually predict whether rent will arrive on time.
Criminal background
National criminal database check returned in minutes, not weeks.
Eviction history
Any prior eviction filings across the reporting network, surfaced in plain language.
Rental history
A timeline of prior addresses and rental relationships so you can spot gaps and patterns.
Simplicity
Invite. Screen. Decide.
The screening flow is built to feel like a normal application, not a legal gauntlet. Invite an applicant from Shuk, they complete consent and verification on their own, and the report lands in your queue.
One invite, one link
Send a screening invite from inside Shuk. Applicants consent and submit without a separate portal login.
Fair-housing friendly
Because Shuk never auto-approves or auto-denies, your process stays consistent and defensible across every applicant.
Attached to the applicant profile
The report lives on the applicant's profile alongside their documents and messages, so every decision is backed by a traceable file.
