Documenting your advertising and showing process creates a paper trail demonstrating that all qualified applicants had equal access to the rental opportunity. This is especially important if a rejected applicant files a Fair Housing complaint.

- Neutral language: Avoid any language suggesting preference for or against any protected class
- Equal access to showings: Show to all qualified applicants; document who you showed and when
- Objective selection criteria: Select tenants based on documented, objective criteria applied consistently
