Were You Denied Housing Based on False Information or Errors in a TenantSafe Tenant Screening Report?

Housing is a basic need. Whether you are approved to rent or lease a house or apartment often depends on the information learned from a tenant screening report. A tenant screening report can come in many shapes and sizes. It may be as simple as verifying your social security number. Or it may include a detailed report of your credit and criminal history, or even information gathered from interviews of your prior landlords, neighbors, or friends about your rental and rent payment history or your character and reputation.

Whatever the scope of the background check, the FCRA sets strict standards for how landlords and tenant screening companies get consent for and conduct background checks, and what they can do with the information they find.

If a tenant screening company like TenantSafe fails to meet those standards, the FCRA gives you rights.

What are my Tenant Screening Report Disclosure and Consent Rights?

You have a right to know if a landlord uses information from a tenant screening report against you and a landlord cannot obtain screening information from a tenant screening company unless the landlord certifies that it will only use the report for housing purposes.

A Summary of Your Rights Under the FCRA

What if I get an adverse action notice from a landlord after a background check?

If a landlord takes “adverse action” against you either by denying your rental application or imposing more stringent rental conditions on you (e.g., requiring a co-signer, a higher deposit or increased rent) based partly or completely on information in a tenant screening report, the landlord must give you notice of that fact. The adverse action notice must include the contact information for the tenant screening company and an explanation of your rights to dispute the report.

Can criminal convictions appear on my background check?

Yes but a tenant screening company must take reasonable steps to ensure its report is as accurate as possible. The FCRA also puts limits on the negative information a tenant screening report can include. A report cannot list civil suits, judgments, arrest records, paid tax liens, accounts in collection or most other negative information after 7 years, or bankruptcies after 10 years. It also cannot list expunged convictions. However misdemeanor or felony criminal convictions that go on record and are accurate can stay on your background check indefinitely.

Can I Dispute an Unfair Screening Report from TenantSafe?

If your rental application is denied or a landlord or property management company imposes more stringent conditions on your application because of information in a tenant screening report, you are entitled to a copy of the report. You also have the right to dispute the report if it has errors or includes information it shouldn’t. If you dispute a report, the tenant screening company must investigate and correct any errors within 30 days.

Can I Sue TenantSafe if my background report includes inaccurate or illegal info?

If you were denied rental housing or subjected to more stringent financial or other conditions to rent a house or apartment because a tenant screening report included inaccurate or illegal information, you may be able to sue in federal court. If you sue and win, you may be entitled to your actual damages or statutory damages up to $1,000, plus punitive damages, attorneys’ fees, and costs.

Actual Complaints

Honest, hardworking people just like you who lost housing opportunities due to inaccurate or unfair tenant screening reports have already sued companies like TenantSafe for FCRA violations.

Many of those lawsuits allege that the tenant screening companies did not take reasonable steps to verify criminal background information and, as a result, falsely listed felony convictions, including expunged, outdated, or incorrect information, or misidentified the subject of the report. Some complaints allege that tenant screening reports contained inaccurate credit, eviction or other personal information, or that the tenant screening company was not responsive or did not properly handle disputes about inaccurate information. Some complainants have filed their lawsuits as class action complaints, on behalf of themselves and similarly situated people.
