Landlords must comply with the Fair Housing Act, which prohibits discrimination based on race, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or familial status. If you pull consumer reports (credit, criminal, eviction history) through a CRA, state-specific FCRA rules apply — written consent and adverse action notices are required. VeriRent is a document-analysis and fraud-detection tool, not a CRA, so those obligations sit with whichever CRA you use alongside VeriRent.

It varies dramatically by state. California requires a 3-day notice (court days — weekends and judicial holidays don't count) for non-payment and 30–60 days for no-fault termination. Texas requires only 3 days by default, though the lease can change it. New York requires a 14-day rent demand for non-payment, and 30, 60, or 90 days' notice to end a month-to-month tenancy depending on how long the tenant has lived there. VeriRent's landlord-tenant law lookup shows your state's exact requirements.

Most states allow passing screening costs to applicants. California caps the application screening fee at $65.86 (2026 — Civ. Code § 1950.6, adjusted annually for CPI). Some states require written consent before charging. VeriRent's screening costs are paid directly by tenants at checkout.

Federal law requires lead paint disclosure for pre-1978 buildings. States add their own: California requires Megan's Law and flood zone disclosures, New York requires bed bug history. VeriRent's law lookup tool shows all required disclosures for your state.
