Effective July 21, apartment firms that use a “credit score” to deny a rental application may have additional obligations to disclose that to applicants. NAA/NMHC hosted a members-only webinar on
September 28, 2011 to help firms understand how, or if, the regulatory change affects them.
This webinar covers:
- The difference between a “credit score” and a “proprietary score”
- What triggers the new disclosure obligations
- What must be included in the new notices to affected applicants
Panelists:
- John L. Culhane, Partner, Ballard Spahr LLP
- David Carner, President, Leasing Desk
- Lisa Williams, Vice President of Management Systems, Bozzuto Management Company
- Jay Harris, Vice President, Business Services, CoreLogic SafeRent
In addition, NAA has posted a 
guidance document that was produced by NAA/NMHC and Ballard Spahr LLP with more information on the regulations.
