Hello:It has been a while since I prosecuted a claim in BK court but I do recall that we always petitioned to have the secured asset excluded from the BK estate.  

I have an applicant that may have a criminal record that was expunged. 

I want to send a notice introducing us as the new owners and giving them notice that in order to renew their lease they first must consent to a criminal, credit, and eviction screening under our new minimum qualifications/new lease terms for all persons over the age of 18 that live in the home and also inform them that rent will be increasing November giving them the chance to stay if they want  and meet our rental qualifications or decide if it's best for them to move.I want to know does this seem reasonable and if there are some things I should consider before moving forward with this plan?

For you to assume it is car theft without further investigation is naïve on your part, are you a criminal lawyer by chance ?  

Criminal and Civil. 

Make sure that you thoroughly screen your tenants in the future (i.e. pull a check on their credit, criminal, AND evictions history) and do landlord reference checks on everyone above 18 that will be living in the unit.

Also you have to be stealing power and a criminal if you grow pot, right?

We were able to vet everyone ourselves with clear criminal/eviction/income checks and it cash flows better than we planned.  

The DA will prosecute faster than a politician goes after campaign contributions. 

Personally, I would put more weight on his criminal background check and past landlord references than employment history and credit reports.
