Application

How to apply

A secure online screening that does not affect your credit score. Here is exactly how it works.

The process

We start it, you finish it

We screen applicants through TransUnion SmartMove, a rental screening service built for independent landlords.

SmartMove is landlord-initiated. That means you cannot start it yourself from their homepage — we send the request, and SmartMove emails you a private link. You enter your information directly into their system, and they deliver the report to us.

Your Social Security number, date of birth and financial details go to TransUnion, not to us. We never see them. And because the credit check is a soft inquiry, it does not affect your credit score.

We screen every applicant for rental and credit history. Criminal history is reviewed individually, in line with HUD guidance — we do not apply blanket exclusions.

TransUnion SmartMove

TransUnion and SmartMove are trademarks of TransUnion LLC. HHB CORE LLC uses SmartMove as a screening provider and is not affiliated with TransUnion.

Your data goes to TransUnion

You enter your details into SmartMove directly. We receive a report, not your Social Security number.

No credit score impact

The credit check is a soft inquiry. Your FICO score is untouched.

Usually same-day

Reports are typically generated within minutes of you completing the form.

Step by step

What happens, in order

  1. Tell us which unit

    Send us a message or call 817.382.1533. We will confirm the unit is still available and answer any questions before you apply.

  2. We send the screening request

    We start the SmartMove request using your name and email. TransUnion emails you a secure link — check your spam folder if it has not arrived within an hour.

  3. You complete it on TransUnion's site

    You enter your personal and employment details on SmartMove, verify your identity and authorise the report. Everything stays between you and TransUnion.

  4. We review and get back to you

    We receive the credit, rental and background report and review it. Either way, we will tell you — and if approved, we move on to the lease and your move-in date.

Questions

Before you apply

Will this hurt my credit score?

No. SmartMove runs a soft inquiry, which is not visible to other lenders and does not affect your score.

Can I apply directly on mysmartmove.com?

No — and this trips people up. SmartMove only accepts requests initiated by the landlord. If you create an account on their homepage it will not be connected to this property. Contact us and we will send you the right link.

Do you need a co-signer?

It depends on income and rental history. Ask us before you apply and we will tell you what we are looking for.

Are pets allowed?

Ask us — pet policy and any deposit are handled case by case.

What do I need ready?

A government ID, your current address history and employment or income details. Have your last landlord's contact information handy too.
