Screenshots shared with 404 Media show tenant screening services ApproveShield and Argyle taking much more data than they need. “Opt-out means no housing.”
The article didn’t seem to have a lot of details like which state this took place in. Re-reading it just feels like fear propaganda showing how easy it would be to extort data from renters.
Atlanta (so, Georgia) is mentioned, though I don’t think it’s any particular state as the focus is on two screening services landlords may use. (similar to how Sterling works for background checks, but more invasive)
