Families and individuals paying for applications for rental housing will have the right to know what the screening process seeks, what that screening finds and who reports the findings to potential landlords under a bill unanimously approved today by the Senate.
Under guidelines set by Sen. David Frockt's Senate Bill 6315, landlords accepting application payments from prospective renters must disclose what types of information will be included in the final reports, the types of blemishes that may result in the denial of the application and the name and address of the screening agency so that they can make corrections to erroneous information.
