Good tenant per smartmove prior criminal circuit case -guilty

Kali V.
Posted

I have a tenant who applied for leasing and has about 615 credit. Smartmove screening has recommendation to accept him. When i was reviewing his prior criminal records history, i noticed a case against him (VA Statute Code Id: 32.1-314) back in 2018.

He pleaded guilty and court records website says he is been sentenced for 10 yrs. I guess he may be out on bail or settled with court with a fine. The guy works for a construction company and i feel he may having trouble managing finances. There is a co-applicant who seems with good credit and financials.

Have you ever come across situation like this? Should I ask tenant to provide details about his prior felony record ?
What would you recommend in this case ?

§ 32.1-314. False statement or representation in applications for payment or for use in determining rights to payment; concealment of facts; penalty.
