Accuracy when landlords report rental information and eviction information, and accurate reporting by debt collectors and others is going to come under increasing scrutiny from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) as the eviction moratorium comes to an end.
The agency is warning in a bulletin to landlords and others of their obligations to accurately report rental information and eviction information.
“As the federal eviction moratorium and other pandemic rental protections come to an end, the CFPB wants to protect families from being denied housing on the basis of inaccurate information,” the agency said in a release. “Inaccurate rental and eviction information on a tenant-screening report or a credit report can unfairly block a family from safe and affordable housing.”
