First, read the adverse action notice carefully If you were just denied for an apartment because of your eviction, the single most important document right now is the adverse action notice. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), the landlord is required to give you one within 30 days of the denial, either at the leasing office, by mail, or by email. Ask for it directly if you didn’t receive one. The adverse action notice will tell you: 1. **Which screening company** produced the report that led to the denial 2. **Your right to a free copy of that report** (within 60 days) 3. **Your right to dispute** any inaccurate information Knowing which screening company screened you is roughly half the battle. Each platform handles eviction records differently, and each is used by different Texas property portfolios. Below is how each one works. ![Adverse action notice showing screening company](/images/misc/adverse-action-notice-letter-with-screening-compan-2.webp) ## The major Texas screening platforms and how they flag evictions ### SafeRent (a RealPage product) - **Who uses it**: dominates Class-A luxury; increasingly mid-market - **How it flags evictions**: pulls JP court filings and LexisNexis rental history; automatically flags any eviction filing regardless of outcome - **Manual review**: rare at Class-A; property-level at some mid-market - **What to do after SafeRent denial**: apply at properties using CoreLogic (which has more configurable eviction rules) or independent-operator properties using in-house screening ### CoreLogic - **Who uses it**: common at MAA, Camden, mid-market operators - **How it flags evictions**: pulls filings and provides scoring; property has some ability to configure rules (age cutoffs, balance status) - **Manual review**: often available at property level - **What to do after CoreLogic denial**: ask if the property’s decision was automatic or configured; try another CoreLogic property with different rules, or a full-record-reading independent ### LexisNexis (rental history database) - **Who uses it**: not a screening report itself, it’s the database most other screeners pull from - **How it flags evictions**: comprehensive rental history including all JP court filings and landlord-reported balances - **What to do**: if LexisNexis has an error (like an unpaid balance you’ve paid), dispute directly with LexisNexis, corrections flow to other screeners ### TransUnion SmartMove - **Who uses it**: independent landlords and smaller property portfolios - **How it flags evictions**: pulls court records and scoring; provides recommendation to landlord - **What to do after denial**: try properties using in-house screening or CoreLogic-configurable products ### RentGrow (Yardi) - **Who uses it**: Yardi-powered properties (common at Willow Bridge, some Greystar, mid-market operators) - **How it flags evictions**: pulls court records; scoring integrates with Yardi property management - **What to do**: property-level manual review often available; ask directly ### Yardi ScreeningWorks - **Who uses it**: newer Yardi properties, some mid-market - **How it flags evictions**: similar to RentGrow but with more flexible property-level configuration - **What to do**: property has more discretion than SafeRent-dominated properties ### AppFolio Tenant Screening - **Who uses it**: AppFolio-powered properties, common with smaller independent operators - **How it flags evictions**: integrated with AppFolio property management - **What to do**: many AppFolio-powered properties do property-level review, worth applying with documentation ![Screening platform comparison](/images/misc/saferent-corelogic-lexisnexis-screening-platform-c.webp) ## The five things to do in the first 72 hours after a denial 1. **Get the adverse action notice**, either you have it or ask for it in writing 2. **Note the screening company** named on the notice 3. **Request a free copy of your report** from that screening company (they must provide within 60 days) 4. **Review for inaccuracies**, check balance status, dismissal notation, age of filing 5. **Dispute any inaccurate information** in writing directly with the screening company Our dispute guide [/guide/how-to-dispute-an-eviction-on-your-screening-report/ →](/guide/how-to-dispute-an-eviction-on-your-screening-report/) walks through the FCRA dispute step-by-step. ## Where to apply after a denial The best next application is at a property using a different screening platform or one with property-level manual review authority. Our approach: 1. Note which screening platform denied you 2. Cross-reference against your target Texas cities’ property inventory 3. Prioritize properties using a different platform or in-house screening 4. Consider whether guarantor products (OneApp, Liberty Rent) would unlock properties that would otherwise deny See our PMC eviction policy guide [/property-management-companies-that-accept-evictions/ →](/property-management-companies-that-accept-evictions/) for how each major Texas PMC handles evictions across their portfolio. ## Realistic timelines after a denial - **Adverse action notice**: within 30 days of denial (usually much faster) - **Free screening report**: request and receive within 5 to 14 days - **FCRA dispute investigation**: 30 days by law - **Next application submission**: as soon as you have the adverse action notice and know the screening platform (do not just re-apply at random) ## How we help post-denial Our process: 1. Review the adverse action notice with you 2. Pull the screening report and identify any disputable errors 3. Build a target list of properties using different screening platforms or with manual review 4. Guide any FCRA dispute you need to file 5. Route to guarantor products if the file supports it Just denied? Fill out the form above.

Our licensed Texas agents place renters with evictions every week. ### How do I find out which screening company denied me? + By law, when you're denied for an apartment based on a consumer report (screening report), the landlord must provide an adverse action notice within 30 days. This notice must name the screening company that provided the report. Ask for it if you didn't receive one, you have a right to it under the FCRA. ### What are my rights after being denied for an eviction? + Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, you have the right to: (1) receive an adverse action notice, (2) request a free copy of the screening report used, (3) dispute inaccurate information directly with the screening company, and (4) receive a corrected report if the dispute succeeds. See our \[dispute guide\](/guide/how-to-dispute-an-eviction-on-your-screening-report/). ### Can I re-apply to the same property after a denial? + Legally yes, but the same property will typically get the same screening result. Better strategy: apply to a property using a different screening platform or one with property-level manual review authority. We route accordingly. ### Should I dispute a valid eviction on my screening report? + Dispute only inaccurate information. If your eviction was dismissed but the report shows judgment, dispute. If the balance is paid but the report shows unpaid, dispute. If the record is over 7 years old but still showing, dispute. If the report accurately reflects a recent valid judgment, disputing won't help. ### Can I reapply somewhere else after an eviction denial? + Yes — a denial at one property does not follow you as a decision, only the underlying record does. The key is applying next at a property using a different screening platform or one with case-by-case policy, so you are not re-triggering the same automated denial rule. We route you there. ## 63+ Verified Renter Reviews Real placements from real Texas renters with evictions. Sarah M. — Houston Verified "2-year-old eviction, unpaid balance — housed in 9 days.
