Granted, the SEC is a relatively small force and no one’s going to come knocking on your door to arrest you and put you in handcuffs (LOL).  

Maybe when he gets off house arrest I can introduce you two.

Suffice it to say that our very first tenant wound up arrested, convicted, and the court made him pay us for years, it was that terrible, what he and the people whom  let in did. 

landlord provided Tenants with cash to relo, did everything by the book and was still targeted. if safeway asks you to leave because you're upset that apples are too expensive and you dont, you get arrested for Trespassing.

When I googled his name, it turns out he was arrested for drug trafficking a couple years ago. 

With the switch of a button, hotels.com, bookings.com etc, could also target residential renters to have them sell out their spaces as hotels, illegally.Regarding you trying to loop in wholesaling, I can tell you this... if the 'State of Space' says in order to broker real estate within its borders you need to get you a State of Space RE license or face felony charges, and you say no I don't, guess who's getting arrested when you get caught?

That situation ended with the boyfriend allegedly causing huge problems for neighbors, and did not get resolved until he vacated the property, after being arrested and sent to Jail.

I also look up potential tenants on social media, mugshots.com, google them and find plenty of arrest but no actual adjudication or case has been turned over to other agencies etc.  

I don't know how you would get criminal background on minors whose arrest is as a juvenile, since I believe that is sealed info.

There are some very bad people in the sex offender registry, but I tend to think it's unfair that everyone arrested has to wear the equivalent of a scarlet letter for the rest of their lives.
