✍️ Sample CRLS Questions & Answers
1. An applicant is denied an apartment based partly on a consumer credit report. What must the landlord provide under the FCRA?
The FCRA requires an adverse action notice that identifies the consumer reporting agency and explains the applicant's rights.
2. Applying written screening criteria identically to every applicant primarily protects a leasing office against which claim?
Consistent, documented criteria show that every applicant was treated the same, which defends against disparate treatment claims.
3. What does "system integration" mean in a technology context?
System integration involves connecting different technology systems, applications, or platforms so they can work together, share data, and provide a cohesive user experience.
4. A lease contains a clause that waives the landlord's duty to maintain habitable premises. In most states this clause is:
The implied warranty of habitability generally cannot be waived by lease terms.
5. A tenant asks to strike the 'no pets' clause and the landlord agrees verbally, but the signed lease still contains the clause. What is the best practice for the leasing agent?
Changes to a written lease should be documented in a signed addendum to avoid disputes and parol evidence issues.
6. What is the primary purpose of a rental application?
The primary purpose of a rental application is to collect comprehensive information about prospective tenants. This includes details about their income, employment, previous rental history, and personal references. Landlords use this data to conduct thorough background checks, assess an applicant's financial stability, reliability, and suitability as a tenant, ultimately making an informed decision about who to rent to.
