If you have contacted the agency and applied for a rental, they have your permission to search your credit. It is a common part of all applications. even an emplyer may pull an emplyment credit report upon application for a job.
No, car rental companies do not have the legal right to check your credit without your explicit "written" consent. They can only charge to your credit card. They also have no right to do a background check. That said, many car rental companies will provide you with a form for you to sign, giving them written consent to check your credit history, especially if you are not from the agency's local area.
A credit report will carry a lot of weight for rental housing applicants depending on the rental agency. Many times a credit report will determine the amount of deposit needed to rent the property.
Yes--with the tenant's permission. A consent on a rental application will fulfill this requirement.
From experience I can tell you that the easiest way to find a rental is to go through a rental agency. Yes they have a fee for service but paying that usually gets you a list of apartments many of which either do a credit check through the rental agency also there are usually places that don't require an application fee so you save money both ways. It's all about choosing the right places on the list.
Video rental stores, movie theaters etc.
If the furnature is the tenants then yes. If the furnature came with the rental property as fully furnished, then the answer is NO. This would be classed as theft and they would be liable for prosecution.
A landlord can "ask" for anything they want. They can require for a full year to be paid up front, or they can require ACH or credit card payments preauthorized. They cannot however pull your credit without your permission or use those things to gather information without your permission. They may only be used to collect payments as agreed in the lease. With that said, I sure as heck wouldn't give it. I would tell the landlord that I will give that information only when it is to be used for payment and then only after the rental application is approved. If he won't approve it without that info, I'd find another place to rent. Let some other fool do this. So in short, yes they can ask, but you don't have to rent from them.
Thrifty is a thriving auto rental agency with 2 locations in downtown Anchorage, and Hertz and Avis are two other popular rental agencies there.
As much as the rental agency charges. It'll vary by agency, as well as by make, model, and type of vehicle.
Yes. The ticket will be mailed to the address on record - namely, the rental car agency. The rental car agency will charge your credit card for the amount of the ticket, and occasionally an additional fee. If they cannot charge your card, they can obtain a judgment against you for the amount of the ticket plus legal fees, and will do so.
this is so that the person renting the car does not take off without paying, this is their insurance
I was applying for a new rental agreement and the place I'm trying to rent from saw a judgment in my name for a lease that I have never lived or signed up to be a cosigner to be on any agreement. I think my sister used my social security info and forged my signature and she backed out of a rental agreement. I've opened an investigation with the rental agency and other property and I'm just wondering what I can do in the meantime to clear my name from this.
