Are there clauses I should add to my application to do a Credit Check?
Yes. Written consent is legally required before running a Tenant Credit Check.
FrontLobby provides ready-to-use clauses for both rental applications and lease agreements. These clauses:
- Clearly inform Tenants that a credit check will be performed
- Secure explicit consent, protecting Landlords under Canadian PIPEDA and U.S. FCRA laws
- Help initiate conversations with tenants about Rent Reporting and financial responsibility.

While use of FrontLobby’s clauses is optional, they are highly recommended as part of your Tenant Screening process.
