About Rental Research Services.

With over 50 years’ experience, our family owned company was incorporated by Paul Mikkelson in 1972, and he served as its CEO until his son Lee took over leadership in 2000. Lee served in that role until his death in early 2023. Lee's wife Jenny retains ownership of the company today, which is now led by Chief Executive Officer Kirk Peterson. 

Blending the efficiencies of technology and automation with the service and oversight that real, experienced people can provide, Rental Research Services ensures our reporting is accurate, nuanced, and compliant. And we do more than deliver reports; we also communicate with our customers to make them aware of important changes before they happen, and support their changing needs in a dynamic marketplace. 

As screening experts, we are committed to advocating for the interests of our clients, engaging with and educating lawmakers who many not understand the needs of our industry or how their actions may adversely affect it. We are also proud to lead the industry in customer support, with a direct line to real people who can answer your questions and support you through any screening challenges you might face.
