Other than a couple of remarks in astonishment and amusement about young people having sex in the cemetery behind the building ... the tenants never make mention of it.

For the background check, we don't want any felonies in the last 7 years and no sex offenders.

The Fair Housing act states that it is unlawful to refuse to rent to a person because of that person's race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin so I think you should be good.

Good point Marcia as to occupant.An occupant is any party in occupancy or possession, may or may not be a tenant or lease named in any lease or rental agreement.As to limiting occupancy, this can get touchy as a tenant has rights of quiet enjoyment, the right of use and the definition of family may include unmarried or same sex members.

Oh god where do I start....You may have seen me on The First 48 following a murder In one unit of a building we have had 3 tenants die in 15 monthsVarious offers of sex for rent to maintenance staffThe Feds took over property we managed as owner turned Out to be a drug traffickerMore fires due o stove left on than I can countEmployee/ resident shot coming home late night from guy hiding in bushesTenant mad because apartment broken into and her cake she baked was stolen....not concerned about the rest of her stuff Countless tenant stole the kitchen and left water runningI could go on for days from stuff over the last 10 yearsI will challenge any pm to a trade off of great management stories.....property management nothing to it

Low to very-low incomes, most children in school receive free meals, high crime rate, and on top of that there are 104 registered sex offenders living in that zip code.

So you can't mention anything in your ads about race, color, national origin, sex, religion, disability, or familial status. 

We verbally pre-screen them to make sure they don't have evictions or sex offenses or too low of income.

It's a small park (17 units) and it's cash flow positive out of the gate and has seller financing (a huge plus for me).But after doing some research on the park, I found some concerns:- 3 months ago, a couple was arrested for making meth in one of the homes- There's a level 3 sex offender living in one of the homesThe park definitely needs cleaning up, but those two things so far are the scariest to me.  

A sex offender can be right next to you in an RV park and you would not know it.
