Screnning, not truthful. WWYD?
I've got an applicant who told me he has no record or background of violence. Background checks reveal several felony and misdemeanor charges, all from one date in his home town. I'm assuming they are related to his divorce. He plead guilty to lesser misdemeanors on all counts, served time, payed fines and finished probation. This was three years ago and there's nothing since. Our rental policy currently excludes violent felony convictions so he isn't excluded on the misdemeanors however I'm concerned that he was not forthcoming with this information. Would you consider this a red flag and if so, how big? Everything else related to screening looks pretty good.
