Those are the kind of rentals that attract bad tenants.You can dramatically reduce that number by posting a statement that you will require a credit / criminal background screening on all adults 18 years and older.

But you can do a docket search in the website below to see what you can findhttps://ujsportal.pacourts.us/CaseInformation.aspxI would check the Magisterial District Courts and also the Criminal Courts of Common Plea. 

@Nate Marshall Oakland California just voted to ban criminal background checks on Tenants

@George Owusu what’s criminal about it?

In addition, ask about important factors like pets, children, smoking, and criminal history

An update / closure on this post.I decided to move forward with renting to this applicant as she met all my criteria (3x rent, no evictions, no criminal history, good references, decent credit, etc.).

There's an expedited eviction for such cases of criminal activity.IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE A LANDLORD, READ YOUR STATE'S PROPERTY CODE. 

It’s easier for the general public to find out about criminal records versus judgements.I hope that you get your money back.

Actually, when I registered it auto filled my information with a family member's (who works in cyber security and freaked about their full name being on the forum) and customer service wouldn't let me change it.

So far, I'm pursuing a complaint with the state licensing and looking to file a criminal complaint.
