A report is evidence to review, not a substitute for judgment.
Use consumer reports through an authorized process and confirm that the information belongs to the applicant. Review relevant records for accuracy and applicability under current law and the published criteria.
Avoid blanket criminal-history exclusions. Keep an appropriate record of verified information, unresolved issues and any required report-related notices before completing the decision process.

A few things worth asking.
Can I use a blanket no-records policy?+
Review California fair-housing guidance, including criminal-history rules. Broad exclusions can be unlawful.
Does the report alone establish a rental history?+
Review what the provider actually checked and distinguish a report entry from an independently confirmed reference.
