I look at public records for criminal convictions and evictions.

In my experience, I found out that they had a criminal background, previous evictions, sex offender records, and generally they try to do a power play to establish control over the landlord/rent collector.

Amazing how the law works in favor of the criminal in these situations.

They'll hit you with criminal trespassing and we haven't even began talking about monetary damages or your attorney fees.That being said, I still might under the right circumstances, but not the amateurish way that you're approaching this.

I am a United States Air Force wife currently stationed in Northern California.Due to the chances of instability of a home, I found it hard to utilize my Criminal Justice degree, so I developed an interest in network marketing and real estate investing.

Too, most of our tenants have a security clearance and therefore don't have terrible criminal record.

I wouldn't risk advertising it on Craigslist because of the criminal element.

Just dealt with a tenant that had a clean credit, rental and criminal history that suddenly quit paying rent-I'm talking *squeaky* clean record.

I'm in Florida where you can evict people relatively quickly (3-4 weeks) and I take people with bad credit all the time, just no evictions or criminal history.

It should be not just unlawful, but actually criminal.
