Read from RealPage's own pages on September 9, 2026: www.realpage.com/ · www.realpage.com/consumer-support/ · www.realpage.com/support/consumer/. If any of this has changed, write to hello@getaxionlabs.com and we will fix it the same day and re-date this block.
In RealPage's own words, read on September 9, 2026: To do so, please complete and submit the Consumer Dispute Form.
Send it a way you can prove. A portal upload gives you a confirmation screen — screenshot it the moment it appears. A letter sent by USPS Certified Mail with return receipt costs a few dollars and turns “I sent it” into a date-stamped fact. Do both if you can.
“Credit check shows eviction, but I wasn't actually evicted.”
We hear this most. a thread title on r/personalfinance, read September 3, 2026 — not about this company, but about this kind of report.
Below is everything RealPage actually publishes for a consumer — and everything it does not — each with the date we read it from RealPage's own pages.
If a RealPage report is why you were turned down, three dates matter and nothing else does. You have 60 days from the letter to ask RealPage for a free copy of it. Once you dispute something in that copy, RealPage has 30 days to investigate — 45 days if you send more evidence part-way through — and it has to correct or delete whatever it cannot verify.
Here is the one number that tells you which route is worth your evening. Over the same twelve months, on the same regulator, Equifax closed 46% of the complaints it closed with relief and TransUnion 42%. So a complaint to the regulator is not the thing that moves this. The clock is, and the clock is in the statute.
You are not alone. 20 complaint narratives in the federal CFPB database mention RealPage, and 15% of them say the record was not the person's own. Both figures, and where they come from, are below.

RealPage phone number and customer service
What RealPage publishes for a consumer, and what it does not
Telephone: 1-866-934-1124. Email: LDSConsumerInquiry@realpage.com. Read on September 9, 2026 from RealPage's own pages, starting at www.realpage.com/.
The channel that starts the clock is the written one: www.realpage.com/support/consumer/, or LDSConsumerInquiry@realpage.com, or by post to LeasingDesk Screening, Attn: LeasingDesk Screening Consumer Relations, 2201 Lakeside Blvd., Richardson, TX 75082. A telephone call leaves you nothing to show; a dated written dispute gives RealPage thirty days to investigate it.
If any of this has changed, write to hello@getaxionlabs.com and we will fix it the same day and re-date this block.
You now have RealPage's address, the channel that starts the clock, and the date each of the three clocks runs out — and you know exactly what RealPage does not publish. Nothing on this page is for sale, and nothing on this site is: your report and your dispute are free by law.
What to do tonight
- Get the report. Request your free screening file via the consumer section at realpage.com. After a denial the copy is free, and you never have to pay anyone else to fetch it for you.
- Read it line by line against your own records. Dates, addresses, middle names, case numbers, amounts. The errors that get fixed are the ones you can point at, not the ones you can feel.
- Write the dispute the same day the report lands. Say which entry is wrong, say why in one sentence, attach copies — never originals — and send it a way you can prove. The clock starts when RealPage receives it, not when you were denied.
All of that is free apart from postage if you post it. There is a copy-paste letter on every situation page, and the deadline calculator below turns your letter's date into real dates.
Free, and it stays free. Nothing here sits behind a payment, an account, or a form — and we never ask for your name, your Social Security number, or your case. The tools here run entirely in your browser; we never see your answers.
Your letter may not say "RealPage". This company also appears as: LeasingDesk. If any of those is what you read, you are in the right place.
Major property-management platform whose screening product (historically “LeasingDesk”) scores applicants for large apartment operators.
CFPB published complaint narratives, 2011 - August 14, 2026. The CFPB ceased discretionary publication of complaint narratives on August 14, 2026, so every narrative-derived count on this site is a closed series and will not change. Complaint intake continues, and the per-company outcome table runs on all complaints and is current.

RealPage in the federal complaint record: nothing under a name you would recognize
We searched the CFPB's own company filter for RealPage, Inc., RealPage and every one of them returns no complaints at all in the twelve months to the date below.
Read that carefully, because it is not a clean record. It is an absence. A company that decides rental and hiring applications and does not appear in the federal complaint system under a name a consumer would recognize is a company the regulator route reaches less easily, not one that generates fewer problems. Your dispute rights are identical either way, and they are the part that works: they run against RealPage directly, on a clock in the statute.
And for the companies that do have a row, the same instrument says this: 10,333 complaints about six specialty screening companies reached the federal regulator in twelve months, and not one of them was closed with any relief for the person who complained. Over the same twelve months, on the same regulator, Equifax closed 46% of the complaints it closed with relief and TransUnion 42%. So a complaint to the regulator is not the thing that moves this. The clock is, and the clock is in the statute.
"Closed with explanation" is a response category, not a finding that the consumer was wrong. Relief rates here are complaints closed with relief divided by complaints closed; complaints still in progress and untimely responses are not closures.
CFPB Consumer Complaint Database, company_response aggregation on the CFPB's own case-sensitive company= filter, 12 months to 2026-09-08, checked September 9, 2026. Re-run it yourself: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/data-research/consumer-complaints/search/api/v1/?company=<EXACT CFPB STRING>&date_received_min=2025-09-08&date_received_max=2026-09-08&size=0&no_aggs=false — the endpoint is the CFPB's own complaint search API, and the one part you substitute is the company string above.
Get your file — free
Request your free screening file via the consumer section at realpage.com. After any adverse action you're entitled to a free copy under the FCRA — you never need to pay a third party to obtain it. The CFPB also keeps the authoritative directory of consumer reporting companies and their contact routes at consumerfinance.gov.
What happens next, day by day
| When | What happens | Whose move |
|---|---|---|
| Day 0 | Adverse action — you are denied, or offered worse terms, because of a consumer report. You must be told this happened and told which company supplied the report. | The landlord, employer or bank |
| Days 0–60 | Request your free copy of that report from the screening company. Federal law says within 60 days of the adverse action. It is the actual report, not the landlord's summary. | You |
| Day X | Read it line by line against your own records and dispute every inaccurate item in writing, with copies of your evidence attached. The dispute is free. | You |
| +30 days | The screening company is generally required to investigate and to correct or delete what it cannot verify. Typically 30 days from receiving your dispute. | The screening company |
| +45 days | The same, extended, where you supplied additional information during the investigation. | The screening company |
| After | If they verify something you know is wrong: add a statement of dispute to your file, complain free to the CFPB at consumerfinance.gov (companies must respond), and to your state attorney general. | You |
Every step above is free. Anyone charging you to exercise these rights is selling you a letter you can write yourself.
Where these dates come from, so you can check them yourself rather than take our word for it. 15 U.S.C. §1681j is the free-copy section: it gives you the report without charge if you ask within 60 days of the adverse-action notice, and one free file disclosure every 12 months besides. 15 U.S.C. §1681i is the dispute section: the screening company gets 30 days to reinvestigate, extended by up to 15 further days — 45 days in total — if you send relevant information while it is running. 15 U.S.C. §1681m is the notice section: the adverse-action notice you were sent is required to include an indication of that 60-day period. Plain-English versions of the same rules: FTC, free credit reports and FTC, disputing errors on your credit report.
Your FCRA deadlines, from your own date
The clocks are fixed: 60 days from the adverse action to request your free report copy, then 30 days for the screening company to conclude a dispute investigation — 45 days if you send additional information while it is running. Put the date on your denial letter in and get the actual dates.

Your three rights after a denial
- Be told who screened you — the landlord, employer, or bank must identify the company behind an adverse decision.
- The report itself, free — request your copy from the screening company (federal law: within 60 days of the denial).
- Dispute, and they must investigate — inaccurate items must be investigated (typically 30 days) and corrected or deleted if they can't be verified.

What disputes can't do — and we won't help with
Disputes fix errors. They don't erase history that's true — accurate records survive investigation. If the record is real, what helps is settling and documenting it, second-chance programs, and time. We built this site for honest people hit by wrong records.
Questions
Who is RealPage and why do they have my information?
Major property-management platform whose screening product (historically “LeasingDesk”) scores applicants for large apartment operators. It is a consumer reporting company under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which means the file it holds on you is yours to see and yours to dispute.
I applied through LeasingDesk — is that the same as RealPage?
LeasingDesk is the same operation as RealPage. Screening companies frequently appear on a denial letter under a product name, a former name, or the name of the platform the landlord or employer used, so the name you read is often not the name that holds your file. Request your report from RealPage whichever version appeared on your letter.
How many complaints does RealPage get?
20 complaint mentions in the federal CFPB Consumer Complaint Database as of 2026-09-06. The most-reported problems are That record isn't mine (mixed file / identity mix-up) (3 rows), Cost someone housing (2 rows), Eviction record problems (1 rows). These are text mentions in complaint narratives, not official per-company tallies — a relative signal, not a scoreboard.
What do people complain about most with RealPage?
That record isn't mine (mixed file / identity mix-up), at 3 complaint rows — 15% of all mentions of RealPage. Read that as where people report problems, not as a measure of how often problems occur.
How do I get my RealPage report for free?
Request your free screening file via the consumer section at realpage.com. After any adverse action you are entitled to a free copy under the Fair Credit Reporting Act — federal law says request it within 60 days — and you never need to pay a third party to obtain it.
How long does a RealPage dispute take?
Typically 30 days from when RealPage receives your written dispute, or 45 days where you supply additional information while the investigation is running. It must correct or delete what it cannot verify, and the investigation is free.
What if RealPage says the record is accurate?
Then a dispute will not remove it, and this site will not pretend otherwise. Disputes fix errors: records that are not yours, debts you paid, cases that were dismissed. If you know the record is wrong and it was verified anyway, you can add a statement of dispute to your file, complain free to the CFPB at consumerfinance.gov — companies are required to respond — and to your state attorney general. If the record is genuinely accurate, what helps is settling and documenting it, second-chance rental and hiring programs, and time.
Questions people ask
These are the questions Google shows beside the searches this page is written for, in the words people type them. Each one is answered here, in a sentence, from the same sources the rest of the page uses — and where we hold no source, the answer says so.
What does RealPage check for?
RealPage's screening product, historically branded LeasingDesk, scores applicants for large apartment operators; what we hold from RealPage's own consumer pages, read on September 9, 2026, is the request and dispute route rather than a list of fields, and your own file is the reliable list — free within 60 days of the notice (15 U.S.C. §1681j(b)).
Is RealPage a legit company?
Yes: RealPage is a property-management platform whose screening arm is a consumer reporting agency with a published consumer route — its consumer support page, read on September 9, 2026 — and our full-text scan of the CFPB complaint database found 20 complaint narratives mentioning RealPage.
What shows up on a rental screening?
The tenant-screening companies listed on this site describe their own products, on the pages we read on September 9, 2026, as credit records, eviction and other court records, criminal records and rental-payment history reported by property managers — but what was actually pulled on you is listed in your own file, and after a denial you can demand a free copy of it within 60 days of the notice (15 U.S.C. §1681j(b)).
What credit bureau does RealPage pull from?
We hold no bureau name for RealPage: its own consumer pages gave us the request and dispute route and not the source list, read on September 9, 2026, and we are not going to name a bureau we have not read. The report itself names its sources, and RealPage owes you a free copy of it within 60 days of the notice (15 U.S.C. §1681j(b)).
CFPB published complaint narratives, 2011 - August 14, 2026.

Questions as returned by Google's People Also Ask panel for this page's target searches, mobile, United States, pulled September 10, 2026. Answers are general information about the Fair Credit Reporting Act and about what each company publishes on its own pages; your own letter governs your case.
The hardest part of this is almost never the letter. It is the hour when you cannot find a phone number, the portal will not let you in, and the people who made the decision point at RealPage while RealPage points back at them. Write anyway, and write to both. A dated letter that somebody has to answer beats an hour on hold that leaves you nothing to show, and it is the only thing that starts a clock the law will hold them to.
— Andrew at Axion Labs. Write to me at hello@getaxionlabs.com if a page here is wrong or a step does not work. I read that inbox.Counts are complaint rows in the federal CFPB Consumer Complaint Database whose text mentions the company (case-insensitive scan of 28.4 million rows, 2026-09-06). Text mentions, not official per-company tallies — treat them as a relative signal of where consumers report problems. Source: files.consumerfinance.gov bulk data.
