This packet is an organizer, not legal or financial advice, and it does not guarantee approval. Every landlord and every area sets its own screening rules. Check the listing or ask the leasing office what they need, and review official guidance such as the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (hud.gov/fairhousing), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (consumerfinance.gov), and your state or local housing agency.
