Stopped by a rental in Arlington that reminded me how credit checks used to work

I was helping a friend look at a duplex near Virginia Square last weekend. The landlord pulled out a paper credit report from 10 years ago, and I realized nobody does that anymore. Now it's all automated apps and hard inquiries that ding your score before you even tour a place. It just felt more honest when you could sit down with someone and explain a late payment instead of getting ghosted by an algorithm. Has anyone else run into a landlord who actually reads your report with you?
