My wife worked the front lines of domestic violence for quite some time and many of her clients found it "challenging" that they were asked to accept a restraining order against themselves when they filed for one against their abusive ex.Hence why I indicated above that I would need to hear - and be able to corroborate - the explanation for the restraining order.

The woman did all of the arranging, finding the house and being first to look, etc. and was clearly the domestic decision-maker. 

Not to mention, she wasn't the domestic type.

I agree that the landlord may provide my information to credit and background reporting agencies if necessary or others as necessary for obtaining reports or information from a credit reporting agency, determining the existence of domestic liens, obtaining a criminal background report, or for purposes of satisfying requirements of the Patriot Act and law enforcement."

If your tenant is potentially a domestic violence victim, then your insurance should be able to cover it from damage done by an intruder.

The lazy, crime types, and even the domestic violent types, thrive on chaos, hence, not stable and nightmare tenants.Of course, these are just examples, merely to demonstrate that as a friend, you have insight on whether your friendvis the stable type that cares of the condition where they reside.
