Criminal Checks in Chicago for tenant screening is now illegal??!

[Ibn Abney]

Cook County makes it illegal to refuse to show or rent property to people with certain criminal records.

Looking for thoughts and advice from more seasoned landlords/ property management firms. Especially in urban markets.

Ever been faced with this issue? How do you screen without checking criminal history? even credit sites search criminal records as part of the credit search process. Ex. Transunion Smartmove

Now what?
