This webinar will cover key requirements and frequently asked questions about the screening process, including:

•    Changes to the screening fee law effective January 1, 2025 that require landlords to implement certain application handling policies if charging a screening fee
•    Maximum screening fee amounts and receipt requirements
•    Importance of written screening criteria and policies*
•    Rental application and screening fee procedures
•    Requirements that apply when using credit, eviction, and background reports
•    Verifying application information
•    Issuing acceptance, conditional approval, and denial notices
•    Fair housing considerations

*Please note that while this course will touch on the general importance of having  screening criteria, it will not cover the topic of developing such criteria.
