I like to put in deposit information and rent cost and that applications will be required from every person over 18 for a credit and criminal background check.

These records have much more detailed info than criminal courts files.https://egov.tarrantcounty.com/web/guest/homeThat is all tax deductible too.

I do a credit/criminal/eviction check and would probably waive the credit portion if they provided their credit reports and they were current- within 60 days seems reasonable like Brie said.Kelly

We dont have no evictions or criminal history and never been late on rent.

For background check I am just making sure they have no criminal past and have no evictions.

Most often, the Division issues Cease and Desist Orders in these cases, but if offenders continue to engage in the unlicensed conduct, the Division may ask the appropriate local prosecutor to consider initiating criminal action.

There is a fine line between a mistake and a criminal act in being a landlord.  

After they are qualified (credit/criminal/reference), I explain that they will give me post dated checks for EVERY month of their lease.  

Account Closed  because they have a criminal bent.. watch american greed

If there was a criminal prosecution, it may have settled out and he may be serving a sentence.
