Rejecting potential tenants with criminal records

[Angel Riera]

Hey folks!!

First time going through the screening process. Got what seemed to be good candidates via Zillow, except one of the applicants background check came in clean but I can find them on online news sites for armed robbery and drug dealing. I was able to look up their docket numbers on the state's judicial website for several convictions. Not sure why the Zillow background check came in clean but any advice on how I can legally reject their application given the fact that they do have a criminal record ?
