What Information Could a Tenant Background Check Contain?

tenant background check. However, it

outlined in the Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO) guidelines, as well as the Fair
Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Be aware that these recommendations apply regardless of where
a credit report is obtained.

- Put Your Policy In Writing:
Official written policies must exist that state procedures regarding the performance of
tenant background checks.
- Receive Prior Permission:
It's also vital to obtain written permission from the subject prior to conducting any
tenant background check.
- Consistent Enforcement:
To avoid discrimination suits and maintain consistency, it's important to perform a tenant
background check for each and every individual whose application is to be formally
considered.
- Full Disclosure:
If you reject a tenant based on the outcome of the tenant background check, it's
necessary to fully disclose the reasons to the subject in a written letter.
Before ordering a tenant background check from PublicInfoGuide.com, we urge you to
learn about important regulations and compliance issues. Visit the US Equal Tenant
Opportunity Commission (EEOC) web site at www.eeoc.gov for more detailed information.
In order to maintain consistency in the process of leasing property, the information
must be treated in the proper manner. The following suggestions may be helpful to
management entities when making important decisions:
- Evaluate the Offense(s) in Question.
In some instances there is a fine line between a misdemeanor and a felony. Depending on the
situation, some misdemeanors may actually raise greater concerns than offenses deemed
felonious by the judicial system.
- Consider the Time Elapsed Since the Offense.
If your tenant background check turns up an offense from years past, consider the candidate
in the present. During an interview, does this person seem like s/he has learned from
past mistakes? Or do the offense, the time frame of it, and impressions gleaned from an
interview still leave you feeling reluctant?
- Does the Offense Relate to the Position?
Often, offenses revealed in a tenant background check may have no real bearing on the
situation in question.
