Housing Background Check Errors

You applied for an apartment. You did everything right. And then you got a denial letter citing a third-party tenant screening report – with no real explanation of what went wrong. That's not a rare situation. It happens constantly, and the system is set up in a way that makes it hard for applicants to understand what they're actually fighting. SafeRent Solutions is one of the largest tenant screening companies in the country. When SafeRent's report contains errors – and errors are common – the consequences can follow you from one application to the next until you know what to look for and how to push back.

Getting turned down for an apartment is one of those situations where you don't always find out why. You get the negative answer via a short email, a call, or just a portal update, and that's it. The actual reason your rental application was denied is usually in a tenant screening report you haven't seen and didn't have much (if any) time to review before the decision was finalized.

If your rental application was denied or marked "failed" after an AppFolio background check, you may have the right to file an AppFolio dispute. Errors in tenant screening reports can include incorrect credit data, criminal records belonging to someone else, or outdated eviction filings.
