Fair Housing & Oregon Compliance
We follow federal Fair Housing laws and Oregon screening rules. Criminal history and credit factors are evaluated within the limits of applicable law, considering recency, relevance, and mitigating factors. We never use protected-class information in decisions.
Transparency Promise
- Every applicant sees criteria before applying.
- Criteria applied consistently for all applicants.
- Clear communication—approval, conditional, or denial notices explained.
- Respectful, personable service for tenants and owners alike.
Common Questions
Can you approve applicants conditionally?
Where allowed, we may offer conditional approval (e.g., higher deposit or co-signer) based on the overall application strength and per legal limits.
How fast is screening?
Most verifications complete within 1–2 business days depending on employer/landlord response times.
Do you consider individual circumstances?
Yes. We look at patterns and context, not just a single number. Our goal is a fair, consistent, and people-first evaluation.
