You can typically only get offences that occur after 18.Is this all you send of do you say open house on x date or try to schedule a showing?

She qualifies on her own, but I’m worried that this separation may be a ruse because her husband may not meet the rental requirements (prior evictions/criminal background, etc) Perhaps it was just a slip of the tongue, but she referred to him as her husband several times during our conversation and it’s odd to me that they’d show up together if they are separating. 

In my area, the courts allow quick removal of tenants involved in drug-related criminal activity or violence, even when there is no arrest, and for persons occupying the property without the landlord’s permission.

You are describing criminal behavior ... why would you want advice from this forum?

I've been amazed at times at the sometimes outright criminal behavior of people who I would have never expected it from.

These people are criminals and likely have warrants out for their arrest. 

There is plenty of material published regarding background searches on SS#s, criminal and sex offender history, judgments and liens, prior evictions, etc ...But ... what if there were an additional tool?!

NO excuse NO logic unless your just a criminal. 

Any feedback would be great, I’m looking to interview them early this week  I would start with credit score and employment as well as criminal background.

We typically like to meet your pets at some point in the process, too.Our tenants’ safety and the peaceful enjoyment of their home is important to us, so we do a credit/criminal background check on all applicants aged 18+.
