What must a Public Housing Authority (PHA) or owner of government-assisted housing provide me with if it orders a background check/tenant report from a private background check company?

California state law requires that you receive information about the background check company within 3 days of when the landlord orders your report.[1316]

You also have the right to request a copy of the report from the PHA or landlord for at least 2 years after the report is done.[1317]
