Adverse action based on previous landlord reference

[Stephanie Windemuth]

Today I contacted the current landlord (large, national apartment chain) where I completed their "reference request" paperwork in order to get some basic background on the applicant who wants to rent from me. Based on their feedback, we will not be renting to the applicant. Does this trigger the Adverse Action paperwork - or is that done with FCRA information? I had not even run a background/credit check on them yet
