I get around it all by “identifying” as a lumber sexual.
Me: “no officer, that’s not an ax handle. Thats my wife. And no, I wasn’t brandishing a weapon, I was introducing those fine folk to my ol’ lady. She’s very social like that.”
Lol.
TransUnion runs one of the major rental databases in the US. Not subject to standard consumer credit protection laws. You bet a company like this can keep people homeless.
This is especially important with the wave of expected evictions. Forbidden to rent based on a fuzzy logic TransUnion score, where will people rent?
When I moved back to the US after 20 years, my FICO score was zeroed out. Many complexes I applied for wanted me to pay 6 months rent to move in or get a rental co-signer or a guaranteed employment contract for 1 year. Hell, even most Craigslisters use TransUnion or other rental database companies.
