Tenant Data Services Errors
Tenant screening reports are often used as the deciding factor for landlords on whether or not to offer a lease to a tenant. If your background check from Tenant Data had errors that caused you to be denied an apartment or home, you may be entitled to damages. If you have a common name, you may be more likely to encounter errors on your tenant screening report. This is due to the fact that criminal history background checks are run using names and birthdates. If background check companies do not take extra time to make sure they have the correct person you can end up with information belonging to someone else on your report. You do have consumer rights that protect you.
