Every adult should be fully screened to ensure you aren't renting to a violent criminal, drug dealer, etc.

I mainly was curious about what legal grounds we have in order to proceed, since the PMA doesn’t specifically state “agent won’t grant criminals unsupervised access to your vacant property”, I figured that was just given!

Once you start processing the credit/criminal, the money is spent, and you can't get it back.

But wouldn't this be criminal not civil?

There is something called CCAP in Milwaukee where with the tenants name and DOB we can look up and civil/criminal court cases.

Criminal negligence, that's a thing.

Unless they fixed it, apartments.com was having trouble with criminal background checks.

I'd venture to guess your tenant is a criminal or drug addict of some sort.There's some truth in your thought but he's actually a really nice hard working young man. 

Think hard about your criminal background criteria.

We are only allowed to screen non-tenant applicants for criminal and rental history, nothing financially related.
