When a potential landlord asks for a $25 application fee, what type of information does that give them?

As far as your credit and rental history goes?|||If a credit report is run, it gives them full access to your credit information as well as current and past addresses, current and past employers, banking info, etc.





As far as rental history, a credit report generally only shows past addresses, evictions %26amp; court judgments.





The landlord will have to call past landlords to get verified info.|||The fee is to offset their expense of a credit report on you. Credit reporting companies


change for this service to the landlord.|||Well assuming the fee is paying for a service that looks up your information...likely it will show your credit history. It will also look up legal activity and judgements against you, in the case of evictions. There is no rental history kept anywhere. It may also provide them your tax info, specifically income, but not sure on that one.
