Rental Application (Pdf: Fill & Download for Free

Can I “alter” my credit report PDF to give to a landlord to remove open accounts from identity theft?You could but…We run our own credit reports in prospective tenants, so we'd know and we would not accept you because you lied. We frequently accept tenants with bad credit, but we never accept liars.If you somehow managed to fool us with the phony credit report and we found out later, we can - and will - evict you for falsifying your rental application. That stays on your record and landlords who, like us, might have overlooked credit problems if you were honest then won't touch you because you have an eviction.

Disclosure: I work at Cozy, which offers tenant screening services.I also happened to use Cozy when renting out my place. We've since added background / eviction checks, though those weren't launched when I had to use the service to fill my own vacancy.Of the reports I've seen, Cozy's are the easiest to read. The credit report is easy to understand, and the background check is a color-coded PDF. (You can see full sample reports here: Tenant Screening - Cozy.)Couple other notes: Cozy's reports are charged directly to the tenant, not the landlord, taking the place of an application fee ($19.95 for each or $34.95 for both a background and credit report). You can use them as part of Cozy's rental application, or on their own if you have an application you already like. The credit report is a soft check that doesn't hurt your applicant's score, which eased some guilt for me.And, unlike some other (traditional) services, it's entirely online -- no on-site visits, and we handle securely verifying the applicants' identities, so you don't need to collect a Social Security number yourself.
