Does anyone know of any database (or website) that allows a landlord to report a "bad tenants", i am not talking about credit agency. just a simple database that allows a landlord to report a tenant that caused damages or did not pay rent?

@Adam Salentine I'd try your local town agency first, then find local apartment associations and multifamily meetups in the area and ask the local investors.
