No written criteria required to be told to the applicant or to be written and given to applicant.
Your criteria are your criteria.
If someone asks you, "What criteria did I not meet?" you do not have to answer specifically. There usually is plenty to choose from, anyway.
Suggest you HAVE your own criteria written down in your applicant files or credit check files so you know what you are doing. As simple as: gross income 4 x rent, credit over 700, good references, steady employment x 2 years, etcetera.

Yes, you are right. Screening criteria does not have to be distributed to the applicants.

you are agreeing with someone anonymous about something that can be critical to your rental business? Yes, you have no idea what you are doing. Pay attention to those with experience for guidance and information, not someone who makes a questionable statement without facts to back it up!
