Here in Washington, there is such a thing as a "comprehensive reusable tenant screening report." A tenant can pay once to request a screening report be prepared by a central company, who then makes the report available to landlords of the tenant's choosing
online at no additional charge for 30 days. With the tenant's permission, the landlord receives a password and can access the pre-prepared screening report online, eliminating the concern that the tenant may have doctored a copy of the report in his or her
possession. The problem is that the law does not require landlords to accept such a report. I don't know how many do in this area. All landlords are required to disclose
whether they will accept such a report. It's a great idea that would really help low-income and even moderate-income renters, but it hasn't quite caught on yet. If there are landlords your clients encounter
who DO accept these reports, I can give you more information.
