Yes I know you can Google their names, and most of the time I get back some services that are "searching fifty billion records for John Smith 0..1..2..3%" and it's in a loop then search criminal then search social media then search this and that and after 5 minutes they ask for your credit card number.  

My neighbor, who rents from the duplex next door to mine, has a 10-year old felony but since has no criminal record.

In this situation, we have taken several actions that have vastly improved our tenant quality, including:1) Making sure we have at least 10 great pictures of our unit in the advertisement2) Our advertisements clearly lay out our requirements: One full year at current or previous job, weekly gross income > $xxx , Paying and approving email for a Transunion smartmove criminal, credit, and eviction checks, having no more than one eviction ever which must be disclosed, explained,and paid off.

OP stated it's in MN, there is moratorium on evictions, and it was criminalized to violate the order so major fines and jail time for violations.

You don't want any previous evictions or criminal activity.

Consider the most important qualifiers and focus on those.Let them know you will be running a credit/criminal background check on every adult.

Someone then left a long note about coming back with the cops and bringing charges of home invasion and criminal burglary.

I collect all rents through the platform as well as running credit and criminal background checks.

As far as tenant screening, you look for the same things you would in other areas: income, criminal history, evictions, landlord reference, employment reference and perhaps credit.

If they convict it is probably only 30 days if it is a first offense and the criminal courts are backed up too.
