Run a credit report and criminal background check on all potential tenants.

File criminal charges2.

Looking at criminal record looks like it was the following Action Type: CIVIL DISMISSALFilling Type: CIVIL DISMISSALI would assume they got current and the proceedings were dismissed. 

. - If and when this lease ends, the next tenant(s) must meet your criteria, which should include satisfactory credit score, credit, criminal, and background check, and has income of at least 3X the monthly rent.I agree with @JD Martin that there really isn't any action to take here.

Having a background check does nothing to harm your criminal record or anything of the sorts, so why is he denying it? 

Hello,This is my first post here, usually I just lurk so I can learn, but I am renting my first house, and I have an applicant that I am unsure of.The applicants job checked out (pay stubs and contacted employer), only criminal record is driving related, and has a rentwise score over 800.  

If I was a customer I would be very pissed too.....but I don't think I would be screaming criminal fraud....Hope it works out for all of you..

@Donnie McGriffI Google their name, I search county court records for their name (criminal and civil), I search social media sites for any information I can find. 

Though the neighborhood could be a slightly criminal one, i.e. not the ideal location to raise a family in a peaceful environment, if you get the idea.

Generally speaking, I wouldn't accept someone with a recent criminal charge.
