Your Applicant Doesn’t Meet Your Rental Criteria.
What Should You Do?
As a landlord, inevitably you will have applicants that, for one reason or another, are not qualified to rent from you. The best way to inform them is in writing, so there is no question as to the reasons for the denial. This will go a long way in protecting you from frivolous Fair Housing & Equal Opportunity or discrimination claims. While it is perfectly legal in the state of Florida to inform them of the denial verbally, an applicant in a protected class could claim the denial was for a different illegitimate reason.
At Accurate Public Records, we make it easy to generate preformatted Adverse Action Notices, both for denials or conditional offers, that are personalized to you and your applicant. Best of all, we do it for free for our customers, because we want you to be prosperous and have one less pitfall for you to worry about.
Simply fill out the request form and we’ll securely deliver your Adverse Action Notice directly to your applicant and send you a copy for your records.
