Tenant screening beware
Today it was found criminal and eviction results are flawed if applicant enters wrong data. A landlord has no visibility with this issue and the CRA does not care.
This applies to all vendors an all CRA's.
As a landlord, I can only remedy this issue somewhat by having applicants use two different vendors and double up on the background screening. Seems wrong, but it is not.
In theory it can happen twice, but the odds are less. I do not want to rent to applicants with eviction histories and if the screening is flawed I am vulnerable.
I can't cite the actual flaw for fear the tenants will game the system.
