$1000 Fine if you do a background check on a tenant

New law in Oakland, California.

I am of course opposed for obvious reasons. Just as an example while running backgrounds recently a tenant applicant had multiple convictions for theft and fraud. Not only that but a credit check revealed he owed his previous landlord $3200.

I’m not a moron and I threw that application in the trash. 

Good luck to Oakland landlords.
