Screening Choice & Documents

Under California law, applicants with a government rent subsidy have the option, at the applicant's discretion, of providing lawful, verifiable alternative evidence of the applicant's reasonable ability to pay the portion of the rent to be paid by the tenant, including, but not limited to, government benefit payments, pay records, and bank statements. If an eligible applicant elects to submit such alternative evidence, Landlord will consider that alternative evidence instead of the applicant's credit history.

Option 1 — Consideration of Credit History. Choose this option if you do not have a government rent subsidy, OR you have a government rent subsidy but are not choosing alternative evidence instead of credit history. Applicant authorizes the Landlord to obtain reports that may include credit reports, unlawful detainer (eviction) reports, bad check searches, social security number verification, fraud warnings, previous tenant history and employment history. Applicant consents to allow Landlord to disclose tenancy information to previous or subsequent Landlords.

Option 2 — Alternative Evidence of Ability to Pay. This option is only available to government rent subsidy recipients who choose alternative evidence instead of credit history. Applicant authorizes the Landlord to obtain reports other than credit reports; such reports may include unlawful detainer (eviction) reports, social security number verification, fraud warnings, previous tenant history and employment history. Applicant consents to allow Landlord to disclose tenancy information to previous or subsequent Landlords. Application will not be considered complete until Applicant submits their verifiable alternative evidence of the ability to pay.
