In this brief presentation, a Centurion representative outlines the company’s standardized tenant screening workflow that complies with Oregon landlord‑tenant and source‑of‑income discrimination laws, specifically for applicants using HUD’s Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8). The process begins with every applicant completing the same rental application, after which Centurion evaluates rental history, creditworthiness, and references using identical criteria for all candidates, regardless of income source. By applying uniform screening standards, Centurion ensures legal compliance, promotes fairness, and leverages the financial benefits of the voucher program while maintaining a stable, profitable property‑management portfolio for its investors.
