Unknowingly rented to a sex offender.
I rented my first property! The background check was clean, he had a good score and great income. After I gave him the keys he thanked me for giving him a chance. I was confused and then he disclosed he had to go to court 12 years ago and was found not guilty, however had to register as a sex offender. I was surprised and now im worried about HOA. Will I have any legal issues. This is a learning lesson for me.
