Applicants in a government subsidized program (Section 8, etc)

Applicants will have to follow the full CRE application process, but applicants can notify us if they do not want their credit report run. If they do notify us, they will have 48 hours to submit alternative documentation showing ability to make payment. This can be a tenant ledger from current landlord, income from government programs, etc. The 48 hours begins once they notify us of not wanting their credit run. This 48 hours is seperate form the normal 2 days to submit documentation.

Landlord must offer “ability to pay” in lieu of reliance on credit history and reports in assessing a tenant’s rental application when prospective tenant is receiving a government rent subsidy such as a Section 8 rental voucher.

SB 267 makes it unlawful, in instances where there is a government rent subsidy, for a landlord to use a person’s credit history as part of the application process for a rental accommodation without offering the applicant the option, at the applicant’s discretion, of providing lawful, verifiable alternative evidence of 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.

When so offered, the applicant may elect to provide alternative evidence of reasonable ability to pay.

In which case the landlord must:

Provide the applicant reasonable time to respond with that alternative evidence and

Reasonably consider that alternative evidence in lieu of the person’s credit history in determining whether to offer the rental accommodation to the applicant.

Nonetheless, the landlord may still request information or documentation to verify employment, to request landlord references, or to verify the identity of a person.
