This can be especially important if you have credit issues or blemishes in your rental history. It’s a good idea to have a complete rental résumé, including employment information, references from previous landlords, supervisors, social workers and other community members, such as pastors or a faith leader. Even if you have dings on your credit record, eviction history or criminal record, there is still much you can do to establish that you will be a good tenant. Some landlords use screening services that look up the information for them, and other landlords may do very little screening. Any tenant that is denied tenancy from a screening report, or received an adverse action like an increased deposit or co-signer requirement, must be informed in writing the reason why. If they ask a question of one type of renter, they must uniformly ask it of all renters who apply to live in their units in order to not be discriminatory. Landlords can use whatever screening criteria they desire, as long as they are applying these criteria in a non-discriminatory manner. Every landlord has their own set of requirements for the tenants who live in their units, and go about collecting that information in a variety of ways. In general, landlords are looking for tenants who will be able to pay rent consistently, who will treat their units with care, and who will be trouble-free neighbors.
