Then what's the first thing anyone here says in the landlording forum when it comes to dealing with real crooks and criminals?

After that first meeting, I went and checked the county criminal records on him and he had just been released from jail where he was put for assault and battery.

Credit score, income/rent, work history, criminal record, previous evictions.

Your landlord committed fraud, which is criminal.

It just helps smarter and more powerful or more criminally inclined people to take advantage of others.Anyone can cite just as many examples of regulation being necessary as you can point out govt screwing things up.

i agree brandon..i don't charge an application fee...so many tenants are aware of the application scam and they dont apply bc they don't want to lose their 20 or 30 bucks..i don't charge a fee..yes i get a lot of dead-ends this way, but i don't pay for a service...i use the internet to look up as much info as possible, google their name, search local county criminal records for their name, verify references, etc.

criminal, evictions, credit.

Maybe the jobs are designed to further manage, regulate and control the american public, christians, gun owners, returning veterans, and anyone with opposing views towards this current administration.I'm sure the coming cyber czar will be monitoring this type of chatter.My question is ....how long will we be free to have these type of discussions online.

I know a retirement "guru" on one of the podcasts suggested this, which to me is almost criminal and made me question anything he said after this.

I read the first part, and thought "yeah that makes sense" A landlord or other housing provider can be liable if its policy or practice regarding its use of criminal records is used to intentionally discriminate against individuals of a protected class.
