Screening Criteria Portland, Oregon

[Jeff S.]

Have a showing tomorrow and am filling out the criteria screening policies form. One of the questions is how long do sex offences disqualify an applicant. It asked for a number not just saying no. Does 20 years sound appropriate? I used to say never but the form requires a number now. Thoughts?

My understanding of the new Portland "Fair Access" odinance is that felonies can only be held against them for 7 years from the date of sentencing. However, I'll admit I'm avoiding reading up on the topic in order to keep my blood pressure somewhat near the levels of the living. 🙄
