When a potential boss calls the job references listed on a potential employee’s employment application, by law the only question that they are allowed to ask is "Would you re-hire this person?"

When potential future landlords call your previous landlord, are they similarly allowed to only answer one question? Or can they talk about whatever they want?

Thanks, and Cheers!

Yes,we can only ask if they would rent to that tenant again in the future.When calling former landlords,I’ve found that some will volunteer information which can be good if they are bad tenants.Larger rental companies will only answer that question and whether they paid on time.

California has a right to privacy law but this part of it is still open to interpretation.

I verify references, employment, former landlords, and still have problems with paying the rent and skipping out on the rent. I have taken to filing evictions just so there is a public record to warn landlords. Thanks for any help you can offer.

as a private person it is difficult to properly screen tenants. As a previous poster pointed out that pulling credit checks are cost prohibitive and can get legally touchy if not done properly. Most private property owners do not have the ability to pull report or report information to the credit agencies so that information is mostly useless.

References are a good idea but take all them with a grain of salt. Previous landlords are just glad to have them out of their property and just like job references most landlords do not want to take the legal liability and will just give generic legally safe answers.

All of my rentals are within a 3 block radius of my home and I always point out which house i live in in case they ever need anything. Scumbags are never generally willing to rent when the landlord lives real close. Any legitimate renter is thrilled when they can come beat on your door when a fauct leaks.

take first,last and a large security deposit and hope for the best based on what they wear and are driving

I moved into my apartment in November, and I am fairly certain there was a roach problem before I moved in. It is a 3 decker and all the residents of the building are complaining about the roach problem that is pretty evident that we have now. Should I assume that it is not our fault that they are there? Are my landlords responsible for taking care of the issue? If so, where do I find information regarding this?

Your landlord is responsible for getting rid of the roaches regardless of when the problem started.
