# Screening criteria

> The written criteria Entrust Investments, LLC applies to every rental application, and how to request a reasonable accommodation.

Every application for a home managed by Entrust Investments, LLC is measured against the same written criteria, in the order applications are received.

## The published criteria

The written criteria are being finalised. Until they are published here, no application is accepted online and no application fee is taken. An enquiry about a home can still be made by phone on (615) 488-8784.

## What is assessed

Each of these describes the application. None of them describes the applicant.

- Verifiable income, from any lawful source including housing assistance.
- Rental history, and whether obligations under previous leases were met.
- Credit history, considered as a whole rather than as a single score.
- Criminal history, considered individually where it is considered at all, never as a blanket exclusion, which HUD guidance treats as a discriminatory practice.
- Occupancy, against the number of bedrooms and applicable local standards.

## How the criteria are applied

- The same criteria apply to every applicant for every home. They are not adjusted per person.
- Income from housing assistance, disability benefits, social security, child support, retirement or self-employment counts the same as employment income.
- Applications are considered in the order they are received and completed.
- Where an application is declined on information in a consumer report, the source of that report is identified in writing, along with the right to obtain a free copy of it and to dispute it.

## Reasonable accommodations

A person with a disability may request a change to how these criteria are applied, or to the application process itself. Making that request is a right, it will not count against an application, and an assistance animal is never treated as a pet.

Requests go to contact@entrustinvestments.com or (615) 488-8784.
