Tenant screening background check errors can mess up your housing plans fast. A while back, I was trying to rent an apartment and got turned down because my report showed an eviction — but I’ve never been evicted in my life. Turns out it was someone with a similar name and date of birth. The landlord wouldn’t listen, just said “it’s on the report, not our problem.” I had to dig into how to dispute it myself and came across this page that really helped: https://consumerattorneys.com/practice-area/tenant-screening-background-check-errors. It explains what you can do and how to protect yourself from stuff like this happening again.
