The report will show if a charity spends too much money for salaries, rent and fund-raising instead of on the charity's actual cause. If you are a victim of a hate crime you should call the police immediately, seek medical attention if necessary, document the exact words spoken to you by the criminal as soon as practical, photograph property damages, if applicable, and save any evidence which might aid in the apprehension and prosecution of the criminal. If you are a victim of a hate crime, you do not have to reveal your sexual orientation, religious preference or national origin. For further information, the District Attorney's Office has available a free pamphlet on hate crimes. We are dedicated to safeguarding the rights of all persons to be free of fear, intimidation, acts of violence, property damage, harassment, or intimidation caused by activities of violent persons.
Many landlords charge a fee for conducting a credit check on rental applicants.
This amount may be increased annually according to the Consumer Price Index. A property manager or landlord can collect this fee only if there is a current vacancy, or if the management knows that the rental will be available soon. The tenant is entitled to a receipt explaining the charges and, upon request, a copy of the credit report obtained by the landlord. By requesting the copy, a tenant can be sure that the landlord did actually use the screening fee for the authorized purpose. The tenant may submit the report to other landlords, although some landlords may want to do their own credit checks.
