Assembly Bill 2559 seeks to spare renters the cost of paying over and over again for credit checks and background screening when searching for a new home.
The California Senate voted overwhelmingly Monday, Aug. 22, to support a bill allowing renters to purchase their own reusable credit reports and submit them to multiple landlords rather than paying over and over for a credit check when applying to lease an apartment or home.
Under the Senate version, landlords would still have the right to order credit and background checks from their own provider, charging an application fee to cover those costs. But landlords who accept a tenant’s reusable report won’t be able to charge any application fees. , renters must apply over and over again in their search for a new home, costing hundreds of dollars in application fees, he said.
To ensure the report is current, it will only be good for 30 days. And to ensure it’s tamper-free, the landlord could access it directly from a third-party provider.
