Tenant pre-screening
OmniaIQ vs. RealPage Screening: Where in the Leasing Funnel Do You Filter?
Quick answer
RealPage Screening is a full applicant screening product (credit, criminal, eviction) that runs after the tenant submits an application. OmniaIQ pre-qualifies the inquiry before your leasing team even books the tour — cutting wasted showings and application-fee refunds.
OmniaIQ is best for
Multifamily and single-family PMs whose leasing calendar is jammed with tours that never convert.
RealPage Screening is best for
PMs who need the full formal screening report to approve or decline the application itself.
