Summary
Landlords can verify your rental history by contacting previous landlords, reviewing credit reports, and using tenant screening services. These services assess credit history, criminal background, rental history, and employment stability. In Hawaii, tenant screening services do not publicly list renters due to privacy laws. Rental payment history may appear on credit reports, accessible to landlords but not publicly disclosed. Tenant screenings do not access DHS records, so rent information disclosed to DHS is not typically found through these services. If you have concerns about privacy or the screening process, consider discussing them with a legal professional.Full Conversation

How am I listed as paying rent before if it's not public because of privacy laws
Case Rating: *
In Hawaii, your rental payment history might be reflected in your credit report, which is accessible to landlords, but not publicly listed. Tenant screening services compile data from various sources, including credit reports, to assess your reliability without public disclosure. Are you concerned about how this impacts your privacy?
If I was paying rent and had to disclose this information to DHS would it be found through tenant screening
Case Rating: *
If you disclosed rent payment information to DHS, it may not be directly found through tenant screening services. Tenant screenings typically rely on credit reports and rental references, not DHS records. Tenant screenings do not have access to DHS information. Is there anything else you would like to know about tenant screenings or privacy?
