Housing FIRST Act aims to amend the Fair Credit Reporting Act to limit information in tenant screening reports.

The Housing FIRST Act amends the Fair Credit Reporting Act to restrict the information consumer reporting agencies can include in tenant screening reports. Specifically, it prohibits reports from containing records of arrests, juvenile adjudications, non-criminal citations, and certain criminal cases resolved through diversion programs. It also excludes convictions completed, on probation, or on parole, and offenses related to fees or back payments. The Act mandates that agencies notify consumers of adverse actions based on these reports and clarifies sources of information.
