A landlord may use a tenant screening report or credit information. Review your records before applying so you can spot inaccuracies while there is time to correct them.

Next steps
Dispute factual errors with the reporting company and furnisher. If an application is denied or terms change based on a report, read the adverse-action notice for the reporting company's details and your rights.
