Portable Tenant Screening Reports

• Applicants have the right to provide KEVCO with a Portable Tenant Screening Report (PTSR) which is not more than 30 days old, as defined in C.R.S. § 38-12-902(2.5). If you provide a valid PTSR, KEVCO is prohibited from charging a rental application fee or a fee to access or use the PTSR.  Kindly Note: If providing a PTSR, applicant must still fill out our Application (In this case, we will not charge any fee for processing background reports).

Here are some important details:  If you provide a PTSR, it must comply with all state and federal laws pertaining to use and disclosure of information contained in a consumer report by a consumer reporting agency, and you must certify that there have not been a material change in the information in the PTSR (including your name, address, bankruptcy status, criminal history, or eviction history) since the PTSR was generated.

For a PTSR to be legally valid and accepted by us, it must include:

1. Name
2. Contact information
3. Verification of employment and income, and
4. Last-known address, and
5. For each jurisdiction indicated in the report as a residence, regardless whether the residence is reported by you or by the consumer reporting agency:
6. A rental and credit history report for the prospective tenant that complies with section 38-12-904 (1)(a) concerning a landlord's consideration of a prospective tenant's rental history; and
7. A criminal history record check for all federal, state, and local convictions of the prospective tenant that complies with section 38-12-904 (1)(b) concerning a landlord's consideration of a prospective tenant's arrest records.

Your report must:

• be made available to us at no cost to us
• be proper and complete, otherwise you must complete our rental Application and pay any applicable fees.

You must:

• also include a statement from you that there have not been any material change of information in the PTSR including your name, address, bankruptcy status, criminal history, or eviction history, since the report was generated.
• also complete our rental application, at no cost to you.
• be aware that we may generate an internal credit and background report at our own cost, which may impact your credit score. We may rely on this information to determine whether you’re approved even if it does not show up on your PTSR.
