RoommateClick.com, a subsidiary of MoveOnIn.com, announced today it has forged a strategic alliance with Verified Person Inc., becoming the first roommate portal to offer self-initiated background checks.

Chief Executive of Verified Person, Inc., Tal Moise, said, "We are pleased to be offering the first verification solution specifically geared to the roommate community. RoommateClick is one of the fastest growing online classified portals, and we look forward to setting the industry standard together."
