Florida Tenant Reporting Services

Welcome to Florida Tenant Reporting Services, Inc. (FTRS), your trusted source for accurate and timely resident screening. We are a unique company that offers more than just screening services. Our team consists of experienced professionals who understand the property management industry and the importance of thorough background checks.

Our story began in 1994, when we identified a need for local property managers to access the most accurate information about their prospective tenants. We realized that by providing this information, we could not only help property managers make informed decisions but also protect them from potential liability. Since then, we have worked with a variety of groups, from single investment home owners to apartment communities, condominium associations, and property management companies.

We take pride in our thorough and accurate searches, which involve going directly to the courthouse to obtain the best information possible. Unlike other companies that buy records from various sources, we employ a person to conduct the search, ensuring that the information provided is up-to-date and accurate. This approach allows us to find records and cases that happened the day before, which is crucial when searching for evictions.

At FTRS, we understand the importance of education in the field of screening. That's why we work closely with property managers to educate them on the best practices for tenant selection and screening. We have given seminars at various events, including the Annual Convention for National Association of Residential Property Managers, the Annual Convention for Florida Chapter of National Association of Residential Property Managers, and other local and national events.

Our team has extensive experience and knowledge in property management, and we are always ready to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have. We have worked with various associations, including the National Association of Residential Property Managers (NARPM), the Florida Chapter of the National Association of Residential Property Managers, the Southwest Florida Apartment Association (SWFAA), and the Fort Myers and Naples Area Condominium Association (COMA).

Business Info

At FTRS, we understand that record searching can be done in two ways. The first method involves buying records from as many sources as possible and creating a large database. This method allows for fast service, but it may not provide the most accurate information. The second method, which we employ, involves going directly to the courthouse to obtain the best information possible. This approach takes a bit more time, but it ensures that the information provided is accurate and up-to-date.

We have the ability to find records and cases that happened the day before, which is vital when searching for evictions. You certainly do not want someone being evicted and arriving on your doorstep 24 hours later. Our team of experienced professionals will conduct a thorough search to provide you with the most accurate information possible.
