I primarily want to verify identity and criminal history.Since I can't run an application on the company, I usually charge a higher deposit of double or triple the rent or I will ask them to pay first, last, and deposit.I also try to negotiate a cleaning fee and use my professional cleaner after vacating. 

First, I would require a full credit/criminal on everyone in the party, no exceptions.

I would be more concerned about a criminal record and similar items.  

@Vinay Kolluru, there are SOOO many variables that making a recommendation without a property data tape would be criminal.

I'm really intrigued by what you're talking about with Central America, although like any rational investor while I am curious I'm incredibly cautious considering the political, criminal, and economic state of many of those countries.

Call the relevant LE agency to levy criminal charges and evict.I don't think pacifism will work.

Barring an unexpected Kasich veto the foreclosure process in Ohio is about to change.Here are a few highlights of the bill: Creates an expedited foreclosure process for vacant and abandoned properties.Adopts the Uniform Law Commission language concerning standing and the ability to sue for foreclosure when the note is lost or destroyed.Establishes that a person is guilty of criminal mischief if he knowingly causes damage to the residential property after being served with a complaint in foreclosure.Modifies how taxes will be prorated in foreclosure cases.Allows, after court approval, the use of private selling officers in foreclosure actions.
