Correctly rejecting a tenant for a previous eviction
What is the correct procedure for rejecting a tenant's appliction for a previous eviction (California)?
Suppose that a tenant fills out a rental application. The rental application states that the tenant has never been evicted or had a lawsuit filed against them. The application gives the prospective landlord permission to run credit and background checks.
A search of the website of the court in the area of their previous residence shows an eviction in their name. Does the prospective landlord need to provide them with any paperwork showing why the application was rejected and where the information came from?
