Design a fair, consistent tenant screening process for a rental. Use when asked how to screen tenants, set rental criteria, evaluate rental applicants, or build a tenant screening process. Produces a screening framework — written objective criteria, the application & checks, a consistent evaluation method, and applicant communication — built to be fair and Fair-Housing-compliant. Not legal advice.
What to give it
▸The rental — type, rent, and any must-haves (lease length, occupancy limits, pets).
▸Your priorities — what a reliable tenant looks like to you, in objective terms (income, history).
▸Process — how you accept applications and what checks you can run (credit, background, references).
▸Jurisdiction — location (so legal sensitivities can be flagged) — and a reminder to confirm specifics.
✅ The bar it holds itself to
Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.
✓Criteria are written, objective, and rental-relevant (income, history, verification) — applied to all
✓Process emphasises **consistency** (same standard, same order) and documentation
✓Required consent (FCRA) and adverse-action notice are included and flagged
✓Compliance guardrails name the protected classes and the don'ts explicitly
✓No criterion uses or proxies a protected characteristic
✓A clear instruction to confirm with local law / an attorney is included
⚠️ What it refuses to do
Do not screen on or mention protected characteristics (or proxies for them) — it's illegal and unfair
Do not apply criteria inconsistently between applicants — inconsistency is where discrimination claims live
Do not run credit/background checks without consent or skip adverse-action notice — FCRA requires them
Do not present this as legal advice or jurisdiction-specific compliance — flag for an attorney
Do not use blanket criminal-history bans where the law restricts them — flag to confirm locally
