Tenant screening: arrests & felonies

When screening for a new tenant, do you immediately deny them if they have any arrests or felonies?  Or do you take into consideration how long ago the offense was?

I would never deny somebody because of a misdemeanor, they could’ve had a minor consumption disorderly conduct years ago when they were in college or do you are you along time ago. I won’t except Felonies.
