In the end, we were powerless to do anything about it even with video footage of clear violations and borderline criminal activity.

I set some some guide lines for my tenants...example: 600 credit score, 2x income to rent multiple, and no criminal background.

There is a $30 fee per applicant and we will run a complete credit/criminal background, check landlord references, verify income, etc.

"It's only cheating if you get caught", or "If you're not cheating, you're not trying" and so many other colloquialisms illustrate this point, but mortgage fraud is a federal criminal offense, so I would urge others to proceed with caution.

Miami Beach did this and started fining people $20,000 for the first offense of renting short term and $40,000 for the 2nd offensive.  

Of course I will provide everything in writing and serve this as a final warning for him (the noise complaint being the first offense).Appreciate the feedback!

Make sure there is a picture of the camera; criminals can't handle a big word like 'surveillance'.

Use one like https://www.mysmartmove.com/ to pull credit/criminal and screen your applicants.

Doesn’t sound like it reaches criminal.

Yes I know you can Google their names, and most of the time I get back some services that are "searching fifty billion records for John Smith 0..1..2..3%" and it's in a loop then search criminal then search social media then search this and that and after 5 minutes they ask for your credit card number.
