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.

The problem with Memphis that I'm assuming package providers in general don't tell outsiders (no offense to anyone) is that most newer Memphis neighborhoods have a life span of about 10 years before they turn into Class C.

No offense, but if I had a client like you ask me to manage and you tried that, I would never take you on as a client.

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.

What I usually do when placing an ad is clearly outline my Tenant Qualifying Criteria (you know, things like: a decent credit score, no prior evictions, no criminal convictions, etc.).

MySmartMove sends me their credit report, criminal history, nationwide eviction, and makes a recommendation on if they seem like a good applicant.

Hi Everyone, first time poster here and my guess is, you can tell why by the topic of this discussion.My longtime tenants, computer engineers, who have stellar credit and no criminal background, were apparently arrested for drug charges.

In terms of a rental agreements, I would recommend using a professional attorney in your area who is familiar with the NJ landlord/tenant laws to help you craft an air tight lease.For the tenant application:• You can get away with writing up the pre-screening questions yourself based on the preferences you have for a potential tenant• You can use an online screening service to receive credit, criminal, background, and eviction history and charge that fee to the applicant.At that point you can choose from the most qualified applicants.Best of luck @Kyle Brown

Low chance a great credit score, decent security deposit, no eviction, no criminal conviction tenant causing such issues.

If you're in a state that doesn't target landlord for the first offense (I think it's a one-bite rule or something) and if this home has acres between neighbors so you don't have to worry about noise complaints or much interaction between, I'd consider it if they provided their own liability insurance that clearly stated it covered the dogs and I could find my own insurance company that didn't have restricted breeds.
