Yes please so many people are going through this I’ve been asking everyone who do we talk to? These people have their credit pulled so many times finding a place only to see their credit go down and then it’s not an option because of to many credit inquires or credit score. I also agree the validity should still be the same I don’t understand why it’s not. I do know that many different landlords pull credit reports from different agencies. And many screen for certain things that others don’t l don’t understand why it can’t be just like suggested the unofficial transcripts ?

I don’t know the answer to this question, but it seems to me that the coalition should advocate for local law requiring landlords to accept a recent screening instead of requiring a new one with each new application.

I have a client who is applying for housing and has a voucher through TCC/THA (CHAP) and can't afford to keep paying screening fees for each place applied to. My client also has a conviction history so chances of getting denied are greater. Is there an organization or agency that helps with screening fee costs? 

Thanks!
