Build a fair screening process in Calgary

About your process, not any applicant. Four columns: what you'll require, what you'll collect, how you'll assess, how you'll decide and record. Alberta's Human Rights Act lists the protected grounds in tenancy, including source of income; PIPA governs every piece of information you collect. Nothing here scores a person.
