Also, I found the husband on the registered sex offender list (name, birthdate, and current address all match the application) but on the application when it asked if he had ever been convicted of a felony he answered no....so he lied on the application.

It might be a u-haul, so rent it.

Proposed apt is $4250 per month Criminal Record: NO Sex Offender: NO Rental History: No evictions, 8 Years paid on time, no charge offs, no balance due, 1 NSF within 12 months, another NSF 24 months agoI was declined because of the NSF.

Some of the neighborhoods have a registered sex offender in every other house.

One of the questions is how long do sex offences disqualify an applicant.

Lived here my whole life, hence the AU reference. 

@John Crawford DeBuys Freeman,They charge because they want to make sure they don't rent to sex offenders or people with felonies.. background checks cost $$$.

And you can point out that it is not technically a conviction; that is a consideration for fair housing laws.In my screening process, you do not have two or more criminal incidents, you are not a level 1 sex offender, and you are declaring rather than trying to hide the issue, so no lost points there. 

My name is Maykol Au, a fellow Miamian (if that is even a thing?).

Crime, sex offender, traffic, how far away are the bad neighborhoods, is the quality improving or degrading?
