Personally, I follow this standard for every application I receive:- Income of at least 3 times the monthly rent (verified through the employer)- Credit score of 580+- Rental verification with past landlords (no outstanding balances, no late payments, and the property left in acceptable condition)- No history of collections, evictions, or criminal offenses- No overdue debt (except medical debt)This process has helped me place quality tenants over the years.

in the desert units are often on the roofs.. you can only hope the criminal stumbles and falls off the roof and breaks their butt and decides thats not a good play for them..

There are many scammers out there, with histories (criminal and financial) that they are not proud of, trying to raise money.

Seems like a very strict penalty if this is not followed through.The CTA provides that willfully reporting or attempting to report false or fraudulent beneficial ownership, or willfully failing to report or make updates to the reported data shall be punished with a civil penalty of up to $500/day while the violation continues (up to $10,000) and a criminal penalty of up to two years in prison. 

Padsplit residents can cause problems with neighbors and other residents because many have substance abuse and/or criminal histories. 

I think that is a fair price and that will help me with my breathing room and hopefully help pay off my place faster, or at least so I can reach 20% equity so I can stop paying $110 a month in PMI haha.I'm obviously going to be checking credit score, making sure tenant has a stable income, no criminal background, etc.

Use services that can validate the authenticity of documents and employment history.Require Detailed Applications: Ensure that the rental application captures comprehensive information, making it harder for fraudulent applicants to provide fake details.Conduct In-Person Interviews: Meeting applicants in person can provide additional insights into the authenticity of their application and allows you to ask follow-up questions based on the details they've provided.Utilize Professional Screening Services: Professional tenant screening services are invaluable for conducting background checks, credit checks, and criminal history checks.

You can't run a credit/criminal without the social.

Billions were paid out in fines for criminal misbehavior and not a single dime went back to any of the victims.
