If you are applying to rent housing — whether it is subsidized housing or market-rate housing — the following people or entities may request your Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) from the state:
- a public housing authority or government agency that oversees any federal or state-funded public or subsidized housing,
- an individual private landlord,
- a management company that owns housing or works for an owner, or
- a real estate agent that works for a landlord or management company.
Exactly what information is on the CORI report depends upon who is asking for it.
