Pull the records

Tenant criminal background check
Run a fair records check.
Findigs runs an individualized background check in accordance with Fair Housing, applying the same policy to every applicant and creating a full audit trail.
The problem
Blanket exclusions are a risk.
Reject on the charge alone and the call is inconsistent, undocumented, and exposed under fair-housing guidance the moment it is challenged.
The Findigs answer
Records, assessed individually.
Findigs surfaces records by jurisdiction with charge and disposition, then assesses each individually rather than a blanket exclusion.

The same individualized policy applies to every applicant, with the factors and reasons logged, so the result holds up to scrutiny.
