When you sign an application for a rental to rent an apartment or house the background check for the rental application takes between 24 hours to 72 hours.

The landlord or rental company will run your background and check your credit as well and usually if everything is okay then you should hear from the landlord or rental company within 24 to 72 hours.

You can ask the landlord or rental company to get a more accurate time frame to how long it will likely take them to perform the background check.

But you can expect up to 72 hours for the background check and credit check to be complete.
