This tenant had a 700+ credit score, no criminal background, and had everything in order regarding payments.I collected the deposit and pro-rated 1st months rent and he moved in on the 20th. 

Check the lease, rental application, criminal record, eviction,  ask for how much housing is paying,  normally section 8 does not pay the 100% of the rent,  any security deposit, pet deposit? 

Well, its simple, you didn't have the right numbers going in, or you didn't know the reassessment process, or you're a criminal, or maybe some combination of the three.What a joke.

The only reasons that I can think of to pay a fee for a vacant unit would be if the owner wants it to be monitored for criminal activity or inspected for maintenance concerns (such as heat in the winter).

The HOA also has to approve the integrity of the purchaser, which can range from passing their approved credit score to background criminal or other checks.Here in South Florida, several units are usually available on the MLS through probate sale, auction sale after delinquent HOA dues cause foreclosure and/ or unpaid taxes.

I then use TransUnion's mysmartmove.com to run credit check and criminal background for the applicant of my choice.

So this is great. I just accepted a family in our condo with great income and credit. Credit and background checks passed. But now my wife found stories in the news that the guy is facing felony charges surrounding hi...

Criteria i value when picking a tenant are income, job stability, credit history, debt, rental history, criminal history...

We require you to make a minimum of 3x the rent, have a credit score of at least 600, and pass our detailed screening which includes a credit/criminal background check.
