Subject: Your Application Has Been Rejected


Date: Month, Day, Year
Dear Applicant Name,
 
Thank you for your recent rental application. 
Unfortunately, the landlord or property manager is unable to approve your request at this time.
 
Principal reasons for denial include:

 
•     Any reason you have selected

 
In evaluating your application, the consumer reporting agency provided the landlord with information that in whole or in part influenced the landlord's decision. The reporting agency played no part in the landlord's decision other than providing the landlord with credit information about you and the reporting agency is unable to supply specific reasons why the landlord denied your application.
 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, you have a right to know the information provided to the landlord. It can be obtained by contacting the consumer reporting agency. Contact support@rentapplication.net to ask for the appropriate contact information for the consumer reporting agency.
 
You also have a right to a free copy of your report from the reporting agency, if you request it no later than 60 days after you receive this notice. In addition, if you find that any information contained in the report you receive is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to dispute the matter with the consumer reporting agency. The landlord obtained your credit score from the consumer reporting agency and used it in making the landlord's decision. Your credit score is a number that reflects the information in your consumer report. Your credit score can change, depending on how the information in your consumer report changes.
 
NOTICE: The Federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act prohibits creditors from discriminating against credit applicants on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, age (with certain limited exceptions); because all or part of the applicant's income derives from any public assistance program; or because the applicant has in good faith exercised any right under the Consumer Credit Protection Act. The Federal agency that administers compliance with this law is the Federal Trade Commission, Equal Credit Opportunity, Washington, D.C. 20580.
