I still have to run a criminal background.

Is our mothers home.i won’t rest till we get the justice .

@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.

If I can just save one person from falling for his predatory tactics it'll all be worth it.I also walked away from the deal I mentioned above and told them to keep their $, I don't want it anymore so they understand this is more about justice.

.- 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.

Pull credit, judgment, and criminal reports.
