NOTICE REGARDING BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA LAW
(the "Housing Provider") intends to obtain information about you from an investigative consumer reporting agency and/or a consumer credit reporting agency for the purpose of letting a dwelling. Thus, you can expect to be the subject of "investigative consumer reports" and "consumer credit reports" prepared for housing purposes. Such reports will include information about your character, general reputation, personal characteristics and mode of living. With respect to any investigative consumer report from an investigative consumer reporting agency (the "Agency"), the Housing Provider will investigate the information contained in your rental application and other background information about you, including but not limited to obtaining a criminal record report, eviction record, references, work history, your credit history, and other information about you and interviewing people who are knowledgeable about you. The results of this report may be used as a factor in making housing decisions. An investigative consumer report (as that term is defined under California law) will be:
CRA: iCreditvisions PO Box 7249, Northridge, CA 91327
Telephone: (800)311-1585 support@icreditvision.com
The Housing Provider agrees to provide you with a copy of an investigative consumer report when required to do so under California law.
Under California Civil Code § 1786.22, you, with proper identification, are entitled to find out from a CRA what is in the CRA's file on you, as follows:
In person, by visual inspection of your file during normal business hours and on reasonable notice. You also may request a copy of the information in person. The CRA may not charge you more than the actual copying costs for providing you with a copy of your file.
A summary of all information contained in the CRA's file on you that is required to be provided by the California Civil Code will be provided to you via telephone, upon your request, with proper identification, and the toll charge, if any, for the telephone call is prepaid by or charged directly to you.
By requesting a copy of the information be mailed to you. Requests for certified mailings shall not be liable for disclosures to third parties caused by mishandling of mail after such mailings leave the CRAs.
"Proper Identification" includes documents such as a valid driver's license, social security account number, military identification card, and credit cards. Only if you cannot identify yourself with such information may the CRA require additional information concerning your employment and personal or family history in order to verify your identity.
The CRA will provide trained personnel to explain any information furnished to you and will provide a written explanation of any coded information contained in files maintained on you. This written explanation will be provided to you whenever a coded explanation is provided to you for visual inspection.
You may be accompanied by one other person of your choosing, who must furnish reasonable identification. A CRA may require you to furnish a written statement granting permission to the CRA to discuss your file in such person's presence.
The undersigned acknowledges receipt of this Notice Regarding Background Investigation Pursuant to California Law.
