I think we find it more bothersome or offensive when the tenant is on Section 8, and I understand why but I always try to remember that I would deal with it anywhere.

Here's an excerpt from the clause in the lease (you should check for a similar clause in your lease so you know what it actually says):INSURANCE: Tenant’s or guest’s personal property and vehicles are not insured by Landlord, manager or, if applicable, HOA,against loss or damage due to fire, theft, vandalism, rain, water, criminal or negligent acts of others, or any other cause.

I have a feeling the property manager is a smoker and took offense to your request LOL.

They were referring to a change that you CANNOT run credit and criminal history at the same time. 

@Marie BuckinghamI am not a lawyer of any sort, and maybe my understanding is completely off, but I didn’t think the statute of limitations clock started until it was known that an offense was committed.

They helped my wife and I refinance out of Sallie Mae’s criminal interest rates in the 8-10% range down to the low 3% fixed range.

As mentioned in the original comment we've got a lot of low income rentals...So I don't think Paul can help as I'm looking to avoid hookers, criminals and drug addicts in the STR division.

Everyone in the REI community always seem to have extremely high standards for the tenants they choose - good credit, no criminal history, on time rent, absolutely 0 evictions, etc.

You can easily see their eviction records and most criminal activities through FREE online resources just google it and you will find it for your state. 

Nothing said was offensive.
