Question will be if he is criminally charged. 

Whilewe wish them well in the future endeavors.Someof the poorly written rental regulations that need to be revised andchanged include the following:EliminateNo Criminal Background Checks.

He also used a lot of other questionable tax-dodging strategies like writing off high-interest loans to his kids, fudging numbers on the value of his properties to pay less taxes, then fudging them the other way to get loans, etc. etc. etc.... let's not forget his company was found guilty of criminal tax fraud.

SubTo deals are for criminals and scammers.

in theory there could be criminal background, but I doubt someone would be practicing as a MD with a long rap sheet.Would it be sufficient to merely put a clause in the lease that the authorized occupants are Mr.

I get that side of things, but to me that seems like it should be almost criminal.

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.

Luckily for us, he was out the door as fast as he walked through it.See post above if the attorney for this other poster is correct this is straight out fraud and criminal..  

Criminal past and eviction history are key, but number 1 for me is looking someone in they eye and making a decision with all of the reports on my tool belt!

Think of it this way: if we were to screen tenants on criminal background, credit, eviction history, landlord references, and income (3X that of rent and employee verified), even with 25 tenant applications, it's difficult to find a reliable tenant to match all those criteria.
