If they make enough money, are not a criminal, have no evictions and no money judgments, and have a verifiable rental history,  I would say that's about as good as you will find.  

That then becomes an unlawful foreclosure in attempting to secure collateral, that is a civil matter and can be criminal under state laws.

It is unanimous, don't quit your job.I will be very honest, if you quit a job because you were having disagreements with your boss or co-workers that were not actually criminal offences, I would not hire you, and neither would any hiring manager I know.

If I did an open house I wouldn't be able to watch everyone to make sure they aren't swiping things.I try to outline our guidelines on the phone: 3x monthly rent in income or personal guarantor with students, no criminal record, no evictions.  

I haven't been in that situation exactly, but had a tenant up and leave in the middle of his lease (inherited tenant who was mad that we weren't going to renew based on his income and criminal record).  

And Criminal.

Some took offense at how your opinion came across, and I referenced your earlier response to me as an example of learning from the content of the post, and not getting hurt by the tone.  

Of those, 4 have submitted applications, and all are viable applicants (based on income, criminal background checks and credit checks - I'll be calling employers and landlords today).My question now is, since a couple of the applicants live 2 hours away (transferring for work), they won't be able to sign a lease immediately. 

If I wanted to do a credit/criminal/eviction check that is $114.

I have asked that patrols be stepped up but the commander has limits on what he can put on the street to react to this particular incident on Diversey.This neighborhood has improved greatly over the years, but there are still pockets of problem gang members and criminal elements they interact with that are adding to the burglaries and robberies.
