I do credit screening last, after the basics, including a free criminal back-ground and sex offender check.  

Thank god that all the sex spams I seem to get are blocked, imagine a dinner party and some random spam email request for "pleasuring" goes across the ceiling.

If someone wants to take the attitude that same-sex marriage is "wrong" and that the government should intervene in this personal decision and this contract between two individuals, so be it.

In Wisconsin: race, color, national origin, religion, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, and related medical conditions), disability: physical or mental, age (40 and older), genetic information, marital status, sexual orientation (includes having a history of or being identified with a preference), arrest or conviction record, military service, off-duty use of lawful product. --- Milwaukee also adds on top of that: source of Income.)

If you run background checks on the existing tenants you would likely find outstanding warrants and felons and maybe even sex offenders (depending on the location).

The author first lived in the worst trailer park in America's fourth poorest city (Milwaukee)--  the park had sections for sex offenders and drug addicts.

This allows you to get access to credit reports, national background checks, most wanted, sex offenders, and I think the terrorist list.  

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.
