Businessmen & Landlords, Bob Anderson & Steve Anderson and college student Jared Johnson formed Tenant Data with platform programming provided by Mark Horan.   The service rolled out on November 1, 1992 to landlords and property management companies in Nebraska and Iowa.  The program was initially installed on our customers’ computers.   In 2001, we moved the service to the Internet and we have since upgraded our platform several times. We appreciate input from our users and longtime customers/subscribers to help make our system the best available for screening prospective tenants.

In 2009, Tenant Data acquired Associated Credit of Medford, Oregon.  This expanded our service area to include all of Oregon, Washington and Western Idaho.   Tenant Data also has a large membership of subscribers throughout Arkansas and a local salesperson based in the Little Rock area.

In light of the 2016 HUD guidance letter on using criminal background records to deny tenancy on your applicants, Tenant Data partnered with the Metropolitan Omaha Property Owners Association to present a  seminar with Landlord/tenant attorney and a Fair credit Reporting Act (FCRA) expert about the HUD guidance letter and disparate impact in rental housing and tenant screening.

We are members of several Local Landlord And Property Management Associations such as National Apartment Association and the Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM).

 Our staff attends conferences put on by professional screening associations to help us keep up to date on the constantly changing laws and rules affecting owners and managers of rental real estate.  We also like to give back to charitable organizations that help the lives of people affected by homelessness, hunger, and the Red Cross (who are the first responders at rental property fires and other disasters to assist displaced renters find a new place to live and provide immediate needs such as clothing, toiletries and food).
