Quote from @Cristin Andrews: Criminal records are not publicly available in my state.

I also would, as others have mentioned, take into account their criminal and rental history.

https://walandlord.org/tenant-screening-info/ Hi Bemnet, You are correct, RentRedi's tenant screening is tenant-paid at $39.99 through TransUnion.​Included is TransUnion's reports: Full Eviction Report: One of the largest evictions databases subject to the FCRA with 27 million eviction records, covering all 50 states plus Washington D.C.Full Criminal Report : Over 370 million criminal records from state and national databases provide comprehensive information for landlords.Full Credit Report: TransUnion predicts rental eviction risk 15% better than traditional credit scores, helping landlords make a more confident rental decisionTransUnion Recommendation: Credit-Based Resident Score and a Custom Leasing RecommendationYou can choose to turn on automatic tenant screening requests to be sent with the application request or you can manually request tenant screening after you have reviewed the application. 

Do you know of a tenant screening company that allows the tenant to access their credit report & score and their eviction & criminal history and share it (electronically) with a tenant referral company and then share it with the owner?

Background, criminal, credit/debt, income checks all displayed in a single dash to help you make a much more holistic decision.

In addition to checking income, employment verification, criminal background and the tenant’s rental history / evictions we wanted to set a minimum standard credit score we would allow.

It's technically a criminal misdemeanor so jail is a possibility.

But I'm a little freaked out by his criminal record.  

I "pre-screen" tenants all the time by asking them about their income, Landlord references, criminal history, etc.

The Application gives you background, credit, eviction history and criminal checks.
