Will the PHA or owner screen me for my credit history if I am someone’s live-in aide?

No. The PHA or owner should not screen you for your credit history if you are a live-in aide. Your credit history has nothing to do with the family’s ability to pay for the unit—so you should not be screened for credit.[1350]
