Hi Friend,

Have you been denied by a rental service while looking for a place to live?

Unfortunately, your rental screening report might be affecting you without knowing it. Let’s take a look at errors that could be getting in the way and what you can do about it:

What Errors Could Be on My Screening Report?

Errors on your rental screening report could include:

• Incorrect eviction information

• Inaccurate criminal record history 

• Outdated credit history

Start the conversation

• Request a copy: You might be getting denied because of an error on your report. Landlords are required to tell you why you were denied. Be sure to ask them for the name, address, and phone number of the company that created the report. 

• Get in touch with the CFPB: The CFPB has received thousands of complaints due to inaccurate screening reports. Contact the CFPB to make sure you're not one of them!

You deserve a fair chance at getting the home of your dreams, don’t let errors get in the way of that. Take the first step by requesting a copy of your rental screening report.

P.S. You may not be the only one missing out on this information, share this with a family member or friend and see if they have an outdated report today!

Let us know how it goes,
