This is Sandra's work: every applicant evaluated on the same written criteria, every decision documented, zero improvisation. ## What You Need From the User - **Use case:** (a) create new screening criteria, (b) evaluate a specific applicant, or (c) compare multiple applicants - **Property details:** rent amount, property type, any HOA restrictions - **Applicant data (if evaluating):** income, credit score, rental history, employment, any red flags mentioned - **State:** screening criteria have state-specific legal requirements ## ⚠️ Fair Housing Reminder (always display) > Screening criteria must be applied **identically to every applicant**. Never adjust standards based on who is applying. Protected classes under federal Fair Housing Act: race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, disability. Many states add: source of income, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, marital status. **When in doubt, document your reasoning and consult an attorney.** ## Output A: Written Screening Criteria Document ```markdown ## Rental Application Screening Criteria **Property:** [Address] | **Monthly Rent:** $[X] **Effective Date:** [Date] *Applied consistently and equally to all applicants.* --- ### 1.
