Ended up pressing charges for breaking/entering, obtaining property under false pretense, fraud, and criminal trespass.

The screening includes an Experian credit report, national criminal search, sex offender search and eviction search.  

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.

I still have to run a criminal background.

@Timothy Grothuesmann  What your describing is Collusion.. and is highly illegal its a felony.people get busted all over the US doing this.. its not an advanced scheme its criminal acitivty.its called lunch money ,, Walk away money, wink and nod money   etc etc.FBI gets wind of being rampant in a market and they will send in schills...

With the problems they have, any landlord doing a criminal or credit background check on these low-lifes won't touch them.

.- As everyone said, get a lawyer ASAP for a civil and possibly criminal trial.

They recruit, interview, check references, skills test, criminal background check and drug test. 

Can I still run a background check on them at Some only require a name birthday and a prior address to run a criminal background check 

Jay, I will give you that there are a lot of yahoos who do stupid and criminal things.
