AAOA provides free Declination Letters, also known as Adverse Action Notices, with every tenant screening order.
Once your screening report is complete, open the report and click “Decline This Tenant” on the left side of the page. You can select the applicable reasons for denial and either email the letter to the applicant or print it for your records.
If you deny an applicant based in whole or in part on information in a tenant screening report, federal law generally requires you to provide an adverse action notice.
Please note: We are not attorneys and cannot provide legal advice. Requirements may vary by state and local law, so we recommend consulting a landlord-tenant attorney in your area to ensure compliance.
