This is exactly what Zillow provides, but with the obvious caveat that the tenant doesn't decide which apartments use Zillow's application/tenant screening features. $29 gives you a 30-day window to apply to however many apartments you would like.

Washington State tried to do this with reusable tenant screening reports but when the state landlord association heard about requiring them to actually be "reusable" (as in, landlords have to accept the report), they screamed so loudly that the requirement got yanked.

All the law wound up accomplishing was to cause landlords to put "we do not accept reusable tenant screening reports" on the footers of all of their web sites.

Gotta get that fee income.
