Good Morning, I attended a Zoom meeting yesterday with FR and Juana /Watkins, Vice President of Law and Policy and General Counsel, Florida Realtors®. Juana gave a great presentation on rental and property management questions about criminal history of potential renters and screening practices. I have included below a short video from Juana about your screening process and how to avoid possible violations. This video is must viewing!! I have also included below a link to an NAR document that lists do’s and don’ts for screening tenants. Juana also discussed the particulars of a single law firm that has filed 48 lawsuits, in Florida, against property owners or property managers for this very practice. If you are a rental property owner or a rental property manager, you must view the video and read the NAR document to avoid being the 49th lawsuit. Thank you, Victor Victor J. Raymos, RCE, CRS, ABR Association Executive/CEO St. Augustine / St. Johns County Board of Realtors ae@stjohnsrealtors.com<mailto:ae@stjohnsrealtors.com> Phone: 904-829-8738 Fax: 904-823-9512 Video: https://www.floridarealtors.org/news-media/news-articles/2019/07/48-florida-housing-providers-sued-refusing-prior-felony-tenants NAR Do’s and Don’ts: https://www.nar.realtor/real-estate-services-update/fair-housing-act-criminal-history-based-practices-and-policies
