Getting the Most from Your Vacation Rental this Summer

Vacation rentals can be a great way to save money when traveling on a tight budget or to have a different kind of vacation experience that you may not get by staying in a traditional lodging facility. Rental properties may offer larger space and more of the comforts of home, including a kitchen and laundry room, sometimes for less money than a hotel. Rentals may be particularly appealing to large families or groups traveling together. Whether they are booking a vacation rental for cost, space or convenience, Better Business Bureau encourages vacationers to do their research to be sure they are getting the accommodations they wanted.

The FCRA is designed to protect the privacy of consumer report information and to guarantee that the information supplied by consumer reporting agencies (CRAs) is as accurate as possible. The FCRA requires landlords who deny a lease based on information in the applicant's consumer report to provide the applicant with an "adverse action notice."
