Can I ask a tenant about items on their Renter Screening Report?

[AJ Satcher]

Hello everyone!

My wife and I are renting out our home while we travel for work. We do month to month rentals and are on our third tenant. First two so far so good! I just finished screening our third tenant and wanted to know if I can legally question them on the items on their report?

Credit history is decent, no eviction history. There are 2 criminal records. Although any criminal activity is never good, these records just show some misdemeanors from 5 years ago - Driving on a suspended license and no seatbelt violation (which seems like a spiteful add on by the officer situation, maybe because of confrontational dispute).

I was thinking I could just briefly ask about the situation, if I have the authority to. If I feel uncomfortable about renting to him then I will deny. But if I don't deem it to be a detrimental situation, then I plan on moving forward. 

Thanks
