<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">I have a question regarding commercial units HOA wanting to enact a policy of criminal/credit screening for prospective buyers into their building. Is this allowable as long as it’s included in
the CC&Rs/Declaration? It seems that RCW 64.38.130 allows for screening of <i><u>tenants</u></i> with certain restrictions but is silent as to buyers.
