This is a crucial step in identifying and cracking down on criminal elements.

This is a crucial step in identifying and cracking down on criminal elements.

I don't disagree with anything you said, but I also don't go back and read anything even remotely offensive in what I wrote.

For example, I mention that every adult must pay a $30 application fee, pass my credit/criminal background, make a combined income of 3x the rent, and whether or not the property accepts pets.

If you see somone with a high level of recent misdemeanor criminal activity their chances of getting a felony is high.  

For example, my ad will state whether we accept pets, that we want provide income around 3x the rent, and that every adult must pass a credit/criminal screening.

Worse case, someone gets hurt or killed and you could be held criminally liable as part of the conspiracy to commit the crime even though you didn't intend the result.  

But upon looking at court records this person has multiple driving violations and charges of criminal trespassing.

Criminals go where crime is easier and where they can avoid attention.

The prospect completed an application and checks the credit and income boxes but does have a mark on the criminal record.
