Credit Reporting & Tenant's Rights
-----------------------------------------------------
http://www.cahomesforservice.org/incoming/legal.html
California Rental Primer
The landlord may ask you what kind of job you have, your monthly
income, and other information that shows your ability to pay the rent.
It is illegal for the landlord to ask you questions about your race,
color, national origin, ancestry, religion, sex, sexual orientation,
or age. It also is illegal for the landlord to ask whether you have
persons under the age of 18 living in your household, whether you are
married, or whether you have a disability.
The landlord or the landlords agent will probably use your rental
application to check your credit history and past landlord-tenant
relations. The landlord may obtain your credit report from a credit
reporting agency to help him or her decide whether to rent to you.
Credit reporting agencies (or "credit bureaus") keep records of
peoples credit histories, called "credit reports." Credit reports
state whether a person has been reported as being late in paying
bills, has been the subject of an unlawful detainer lawsuit, or has
filed bankruptcy.
When you submit a rental application, the landlord may charge you an
application screening fee. The landlord may charge up to $30, and may
use the fee to cover the cost of obtaining information about you, such
as checking your personal references and obtaining a credit report on
you.The application fee cannot legally be more than the landlords
actual out-of-pocket costs, and can never be more than $30.
