Investigative consumer reports may include information about your character, general reputation, personal characteristics and/or mode of living. With respect to any investigative consumer report from an investigative consumer reporting agency ("ICRA"), the Company may investigate the information contained in your rental application and other background information about you, including but not limited to obtaining a criminal history, verifying references, employment history, social security number, educational history or status, licensure, and certifications, driving history, and other information about you, and interviewing people who are knowledgeable about you. The results of this consumer report may be used as a factor in determining your qualifications for the dwelling unit. The investigative consumer reporting agency preparing the report is: National Tenant Network (NTN); PO Box 6245; Concord, CA 94524; 1-800-800-5602; www.ntnonline.com.
The company agrees to provide you with a copy of a consumer report when required to do so under California law.
Under the California Civil Code 1786.10 you are entitled to find out from an ICRA what is in the ICRA's file on you with proper idenfication, as follows:
- In person, by visual inspection of your file during normal business hours and on reasonable notice. You also may request a copy of the information in person. The ICRA may not charge you more than the actual copying costs for providing you with a copy of your file. You should inform the ICRA if you are unemployed, receiving public assistance, or have reason to believe fraud has occurred in regard to your personal information.
- By requesting a copy be sent to a specified addressee by certified mail. ICRAs complying with requests for certified mailings shall not be liable for disclosures to third parties caused by mishandling of mail after such mailings leave the ICRAs.
- A summary of all information contained in the ICRA's file on you that is required to be provided by the California Civil Code will be providing to you via telephone, if you have made a written request, with proper identification, for telephone disclosure, and the toll charge, if any, for the telephone call is prepaid by or charged directly to you.
"Proper Identification" includes documents such as valid government issued license or ID, social security number, military identification card, and credit cards. Only if you cannot identify yourself with such information may the ICRA require additional information concerning your employment and personal or family history in order to verify your identity.
The ICRA will provide trained personnel to explain any information furnished to you and will provide a written explanation of any coded information contained in files maintained on you. This written explanation will be provided whenever a file is provided to you for visual inspection.
You may be accompanied by one other person of your choosing, who must furnish reasonable identification. An ICRA may require you to furnish a written statement granting permission to the ICRA to discuss your file in such person's presence.
I, the undersigned, hereby authorize, John Stewart Company (JSCo) as prospective landlord or property manager for the landlord, to seek and obtain any information pertinent to my income, credit history, tenancy history, employment history, and/or criminal history. I understand this process may include the making of a Consumer Credit Report (as identified under California Civil Code 1785.3(c)) and/or an Investigative Consumer Report (as identified under California Civil Code 1786.2(c)), the contents of which may include information about my character, general reputation, personal characteristics and/or mode of living. The investigative consumer reporting agency preparing the report is:
National Tenant Network (NTN); PO Box 6245; Concord, CA 94524; 1.800.800.5602; www.ntnonline.com
For purposes of obtaining and/or verifying information contained in my application and pertinent to my qualification as a tenant of a JSCo managed property, this report may contain information obtained from national credit bureaus (Experian, TransUnion, Equifax), court records, files and/or repositories, department of justice (DOJ), department of corrections (DOC), department of motor vehicles (DMV), current and/or previous employer(s), current and/or previous landlord(s), business and/or personal references, or any other source necessary to verify the information I have provided on my application.
Further, I expressly consent to the release of any and all information requested of any creditors, credit reporting agencies, landlords, employers, public and/or criminal agencies subsequently contacted by JSCo/ National Tenant Network (NTN) for purposes of obtaining and/or verifying said information, and hereby hold the landlord, property manager for the landlord, National Tenant Network (NTN), and any responding parties harmless of liability for the seeking and providing of any such information contained in or pertinent to my application.
I understand I have the right to receive a free copy of the investigative consumer report prepared in accordance with my submitted application and this authorization by checking the box below:
You will receive a copy of the consumer investigative report prepared in accordance with this authorization.
Please send my copy to the following recipient at the following address:
- You have a right to obtain a copy of your credit file from a consumer credit reporting agency. You may be charged a reasonable fee not exceeding eight dollars ($8.00). There is no fee, however, if you have been turned down for credit, employment, insurance, or a rental dwelling because of information in your credit report within the preceding 60 days. The consumer credit reporting agency must provide someone to help you interpret the information in your credit file.
- You have a right to dispute inaccurate information by contacting the consumer credit reporting agency directly. However, neither you nor any credit repair company or credit service organization has the right to have accurate, current, and verifiable information removed from your credit report. Under the Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, the consumer credit reporting agency must remove accurate, negative information from your report only if it is over seven years old. Bankruptcy information can be reported for 10 years.
If you have notified a consumer credit reporting agency in writing that you dispute the accuracy of information in your file, the consumer credit reporting agency must then, within 30 business days, reinvestigate and modify or remove inaccurate information. The consumer credit reporting agency may not charge a fee for this service. Any pertinent information and copies of all documents you have concerning an error should be given to the consumer credit reporting agency. If reinvestigation does not resolve the dispute to your satisfaction, you may send a brief statement to the consumer credit reporting agency to keep in your file, explaining why you think the record is inaccurate. The consumer credit reporting agency must include your statement about disputed information in a report it issues about you. - You have a right to receive a record of all inquiries relating to a credit transaction initiated within 12 months preceding your request. This record shall include the recipients of any consumer credit report.
- You may request in writing that the information contained in your file not be provided to a third party for marketing purposes.
- You have a right to place a "security alert" in your credit report, which will warn anyone who receives information in your credit report that your identity may have been used without your consent. Recipients of your credit report are required to take reasonable steps, including contacting you at the telephone number you may provide with your security alert, to verify your identity prior to lending money, extending credit, or completing the purchase, lease, or rental of goods or services. The security alert may prevent credit, loans, and services from being approved in your name without your consent. However, you should be aware that taking advantage of this right may delay or interfere with the timely approval of any subsequent request or application you make regarding a new loan, credit, mortgage, or cellular phone or other new account, including an extension of credit at point of sale. If you place a security alert on your credit report, you have a right to obtain a free copy of your credit report at the time the 90-day security alert period expires. A security alert may be requested by calling the following toll- free telephone number: Experian (888) 397-3742; TransUnion (800) 916-8800; Equifax (800) 685-1111.
- You have a right to place a "security freeze" on your credit report, which will prohibit a consumer credit reporting agency from releasing any information in your credit report without your express authorization. A security freeze must be requested in writing by mail. The security freeze is designed to prevent credit, loans, and services from being approved in your name without your consent. However, you should be aware that using a security freeze to take control over who gets access to the personal and financial information in your credit report may delay, interfere with, or prohibit the timely approval of any subsequent request or application you make regarding a new loan, credit, mortgage, or cellular phone or other new account, including an extension of credit at point of sale. When you place a security freeze on your credit report, you will be provided a personal identification number or password to use if you choose to remove the freeze on your credit report or authorize the release of your credit report for a specific party or period of time after the freeze is in place. To provide that authorization you must contact the consumer credit reporting agency and provide all of the following:
- The personal identification number or password.
- Proper identification to verify your identity.
- The proper information regarding the third party who is to receive the credit report or the period of time for which the report shall be available to users of the credit report.
A consumer credit reporting agency must authorize the release of your credit report no later than three (3) business days after receiving the above information. A security freeze does not apply when you have an existing account and a copy of your report is requested by your existing creditor or its agents or affiliates for certain types of account review, collection, fraud control, or similar activities. If you are actively seeking credit, you should understand that the procedures involved in lifting a security freeze may slow your application for credit. You should plan ahead and lift a freeze, either completely if you are shopping around, or specifically for a certain creditor, before applying for new credit. A consumer credit reporting agency may not charge a fee to a consumer for placing or removing a security freeze if the consumer is a victim of identity theft and submits a copy of a valid police report or valid Department of Motor Vehicle investigative report. A person 65 years of age or older with proper identification may be charged a fee of no more than $5 for placing, lifting, or removing a security freeze. All other consumers may be charged a fee of no more than $10 for each of these steps.- You have a right to bring civil action against anyone, including a consumer credit reporting agency, who improperly obtains access to a file, knowingly or willfully misuses file data, or fails to correct inaccurate file data. If you are a victim of identity theft and provide to a consumer credit reporting agency a copy of a valid police report or a valid investigative report made by a Department of Motor Vehicles investigator with peace officer status describing your circumstances, the following shall apply:
- You have a right to have any information you list on the report as allegedly fraudulent promptly blocked so that the information cannot be reported. The information will be unblocked only if:
