 Howdy, I have been in the land business for quite a while but decided to get my license since I will be buying a house in the next few months.Passed the exam, course, and such but just realized that due to a reckless driving arrest from many years ago I have to go through additional steps before getting my license. 

Trying to coerce a tenant to leave by offering them payment (say good-bye to "cash for keys")Revealing the immigration status of a tenant to others or threatening to do so (If I cross the border to any advanced country in the world, including Mexico, I can be arrested and deported because it's a crime.

California law prohibits any consumer report from including arrests, indictments or misdemeanors that did not result in a conviction, or crimes that are spent by more than seven years.

Then I had to get the place inspected.Coincidentally, it turns out there was lot of corruption in the building department back then and fortunately for me, the corruption probe concluded and all but one inspector in the county was arrested when I needed the inspection.
