If you use a screening service to give you information that you used in forming your decision, then that screening service will usually require that you provide a written rejection to the applicant - and they will usually have a form letter for this that you can copy and send.If you only get credit reports from that screening service, then your letter will basically identify which of the credit bureaus was the source of the information, and it will have to identify a means for the applicant to contact that credit bureau (to dispute or get copy of the report).If that screening service provides other info, such as eviction history or criminal background info or lawsuit history, and you reject for one of these non-credit issues, your screening service will probably require you to send a written rejection as well and identify where the info originated.If I'm not mistaken, this stuff all comes from federal Fair Credit Reporting Act.

We even have criminal laws for not closing a gate, but no party wall laws and no landlord tenant laws until about 15 years ago, except the eviction statute.

I hereby authorize a credit and/or criminal check to be made, verification of information I provided and communication with any and all names listed on this application.

It's a pretty nice service; they have different kinds of screening that you can do (credit check, criminal background checks are usually what I look at) for different prices.

But if ever evicted it is an automatic denial, as is recent criminal activity.J.T.

In person conversations can be insightful but the hard facts (credit score, eviction history, criminal history, tenant income, etc.) are more important.

Many people with felonious criminal history don't last long after getting released.

No verification of experience, no criminal background check, no verification of education, no citizenship check, etc?

Is the criminal activity you briefly mentioned happening at the property?
