I authorize John Clarke Senior Living and its designated screening agents to request and obtain a consumer credit report about me from one or more consumer reporting agencies, for the sole purpose of evaluating this rental application, in accordance with the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq.) and applicable Rhode Island law. I understand the report may include credit history, payment history, and public record information, and that I have the right to request the name and address of any consumer reporting agency used.
I authorize John Clarke Senior Living and its designated screening agents, including the Rhode Island Attorney General's Bureau of Criminal Identification (BCI) or a private screening company, to conduct a criminal background records (CORI) check on me for the sole purpose of evaluating this rental application. I understand this check may include state and national criminal history records, sex offender registry records, and court records. I understand that a criminal record will not result in automatic denial: consistent with HUD guidance and Rhode Island law, John Clarke Senior Living will individually assess the nature and severity of any offense, the time elapsed, and its relevance to tenancy before making a decision, and I will have the opportunity to provide evidence of rehabilitation or dispute the accuracy of the record before a final denial. The following identifying information is required by BCI/CORI screening providers to accurately match criminal records to the correct individual. This information will be used only for the background check and will be handled under the confidentiality protections.
The Social Security Number and Date of Birth requested in this application are collected solely to: (1) verify applicant identity and eligibility for 55+ occupancy under HOPA; (2) obtain a consumer credit and background report; and (3) process lease and tenant-screening documentation. This information will be kept confidential, stored securely, shared only with authorized screening agencies, property ownership/management, and as required by law, and will not be used for any other purpose. Applicants may ask how their information will be used and may decline to provide it, understanding that doing so may prevent the community from processing this application.
I/We certify that the information provided in this application is true, complete, and accurate to the best of my/our knowledge. I/We understand that any false or misleading statement may be grounds for denial of this application or, if discovered after occupancy, for termination of tenancy. I/We acknowledge that this community operates as 55+ age-restricted housing under HOPA and that I/we meet, or my/our household includes a member who meets, the applicable age requirement. I/We acknowledge receipt of the community's Equal Housing Opportunity policy and understand that Rhode Island law prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, age, marital status, familial status (subject to HOPA), country of origin, and lawful source of income, including housing choice vouchers.
