Know when criminal history can be considered
For rentals covered by the Fair Chance in Housing Act, housing providers generally must wait until they make a conditional offer before asking about or considering criminal history. Limited exceptions apply. If a provider plans to check criminal history after an offer, look for the required disclosure and review your right to explain inaccuracies or other mitigating circumstances.
