FCRA-Aware Tenant Screening
The short answer
Pilot runs tenant screening as part of the online application — credit, background, and eviction history — and captures the applicant's consent so you have a permissible-purpose record. The flow is built to support the FCRA adverse-action workflow when you decline or condition an applicant based on a report.
What's included in screening?
A standard tenant-screening report covering credit, criminal background, and eviction history, ordered after the applicant consents inside the application. Results attach to the application so the whole decision is in one place.
How does Pilot handle FCRA?
Screening reports are consumer reports under the FCRA, so Pilot captures written authorization before pulling a report and is designed to support an adverse-action notice if a report contributes to a denial, higher deposit, or guarantor requirement.
