FCRA notice: LandLawKit is not a consumer reporting agency and does not furnish consumer reports as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). If you obtain credit, background, or eviction-history reports, you are solely responsible for FCRA compliance — including obtaining the applicant's written consent and sending any required adverse-action notice after a denial. You must also follow the Fair Housing Act and all state and local fair-housing laws; do not screen or deny on any protected basis. This tool provides legal information, not legal advice. Nothing on this site creates an attorney-client relationship. For advice about your specific situation, consult a licensed attorney in your state.
