Contact tenant screening companies<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Several specialized companies compile rental history reports. Common providers include:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can reach out to these companies directly to request a copy of your rental history. They may charge a fee, though some offer free copies under certain circumstances.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Check credit reporting agencies<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though not identical to a rental history report, major credit bureaus like Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion might have rental data in their files. You\u2019re entitled to a free credit report annually. While this doesn\u2019t always serve as a formal rental history document, it can help you spot issues like unpaid rent sent to collections.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Ask your previous landlords or property managers<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t want to pay for a formal report, consider compiling an unofficial history by asking past landlords to write <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.apartmentguide.com\/blog\/what-is-a-reference\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reference letters<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. They can verify your timely payments and positive rental conduct. Although this won\u2019t be as formal as a comprehensive screening report, it can serve as supporting evidence of your rental responsibility.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reviewing your report for accuracy<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you have your report, it\u2019s crucial to go through it with a fine-tooth comb to ensure all the details are correct. Look out for:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Incorrect addresses<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or inaccuracies in your address history<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Discrepancies in payment records<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (e.g., a missed payment that never happened)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Errors in eviction records<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Mismatched personal information<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (like someone else\u2019s data mixed with yours)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mistakes can happen, and even small errors could negatively impact your chances of getting approved for an apartment. If you spot anything amiss, reach out to the reporting company promptly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1545020\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apartmentguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/apartmentapplication_shutterstock_1906252684-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.apartmentguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/apartmentapplication_shutterstock_1906252684-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.apartmentguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/apartmentapplication_shutterstock_1906252684-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.apartmentguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/apartmentapplication_shutterstock_1906252684-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.apartmentguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/apartmentapplication_shutterstock_1906252684.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to handle errors or disputes<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To correct errors in your rental history report, take these steps:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Gather proof.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> For instance, if your report shows a missed payment you\u2019re sure you made, pull bank statements or rent receipts to back up your dispute.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Write a dispute letter.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Send it to both the screening company and, if relevant, any landlord or collection agency involved.
