Our Background Check Policy 🔍

At Texas Corporate Homes, we pride ourselves on hosting the highest-quality guests in residential real estate. In fact, 80–90% of our stays are homeowners themselves, placed through insurance carriers, relocation firms, or large employers. That’s a big reason why our collection rate is 99.4%, compared to about 95% for traditional long-term rentals.

To maintain this high standard, every guest who stays in our homes goes through a background check process. Here’s how it works:

🏢 1. Insurance Companies, Relocation Firms & Large Employers (≈80% of stays)

• These organizations typically run their own background checks (criminal + credit).
• Their policies are strict and comprehensive.
• In cases where they do not perform their own checks, we run an industry-standard TransUnion background check (credit + criminal).

👨‍👩‍👧 + 🌐 2. Direct Bookings & Platform Bookings (≈20% of stays combined)

• Direct bookings: We run the same TransUnion background check (credit + criminal).
• Airbnb, VRBO, and other platforms: We rely on the platform’s own background check and security policies, which apply to all bookings.

✅ Summary

• 80% of stays: Screened by insurance, relocation, or employer partners (or by TCH using TransUnion if not).
• 20% of stays: Direct bookings screened via TransUnion or platform checks (Airbnb, VRBO, etc.).
• This layered approach is one of the reasons why TCH enjoys the strongest rent collection rates in the industry.
