How do I collect information from would-be tenants?

我如何从准租户那里收集信息？

Landlords should use a rental application and have ALL prospective tenants complete it as this ensures that the same information is collected from all prospective tenants. Typically, a rental application requires information related to employment, current and previous landlords, banking information and, most importantly, a clause authorizing the landlord to conduct a credit check. The landlord is not be permitted to access the tenant’s confidential credit information unless the prospective tenant provides written consent agreeing to permit a credit check. There are limited circumstances under which access to an individual’s credit information may be gained; one of them is for the purpose of approving an application for rental accommodation. If a prospective tenant refuses to provide all the requested information (rental history and credit references) the landlord can then proceed to use the income information to determine eligibility.

IMPORTANT: Landlords may only request income information if rental history, credit references and authorization to perform a credit check is also requested. Income information cannot be used as the sole reason to decline an application.

房东应使用租赁应用程序，并让所有准租户填写该申请表，因为这样可以确保从所有准租户处收集相同的信息。通常，租赁申请需要填写与就业有关的信息；当前和以前的房东，银行信息；以及最重要的——授权房东进行信用检查的条款。除非准房客提供同意允许进行信用检查的书面同意，否则房东不允许访问房客的机密信用信息。在特殊情况下，为了批准出租住房的申请，可以访问个人的信用信息。如果准租户拒绝提供所有要求的信息（租房历史和信用证明），那么房东可以继续使用收入信息来确定资格。

重要信息：房东只可要求提供租金历史、信用证明和信用检查授权的收入信息。收入信息不能作为拒绝申请的唯一理由。

房东可以根据《安大略省人权法》制定的条例，利用收入信息、信用检查、信用证明、租赁历史、担保人和其他类似的商业惯例来甄别房客。鼓励房东使用租赁申请。这样可以确保从所有潜在租户那里收集到相同的信息。通常，租赁申请要求潜在承租人提供与就业、当前和前任房东、银行信息相关的信息。但最重要的还是签署一项授权房东进行信用检查的条款。除非潜在承租人提供同意进行信用检查的书面同意书，否则业主不得访问承租人的保密信用信息。在有限的情况下可以获得个人的信用信息，目的之一是为了批准租房申请。如果潜在承租人拒绝提供所有要求的信息（租赁历史和信用证明），房东可以继续使用收入信息来确定资格。房东只有在要求提供租金历史、信用证明和信用检查授权的情况下，才可以要求提供收入信息。收入信息不能作为拒绝申请的唯一理由。

Do I have the right to screen prospective tenants?

我是否有权筛选潜在的租户？

When selecting tenants, the Residential Tenancies Act gives landlords the rights to use income information, credit checks, credit references, rental history, guarantees, or other similar business practices as prescribed in the regulations made under the Human Rights Code. Use a pre-printed rental application to ensure you are collecting the same information from all prospective tenants.

在选择租户时，《租务法》赋予房东使用根据《人权法》制定的法规所规定的收入信息，信用检查，信用证明，租金历史，担保或其他类似商业惯例的权利。使用预打印的租赁应用程序以确保您正在从所有潜在租户处收集相同的信息。
