But after a little digging I just discover that a sex offender used that address as his last known address.

There has not been any recent crime reported in the area, but there are a lot of registered sex offenders in the city.  

Make sure there's not like a sex offender living next door and check comps, schools...

What I find facinating is that Section 12.59 entitled "Prohibited sex discrimination" was already on the books, with some exclusions.

It will also check the sex offender list, which I'm not 100% certain shows up in the county records.

Things I will typically not overlook are violent crimes, domestic abuse situation, sex offenders, crimes involving fraud.

A guy shows up on the sex offender registry for an offense in 2004 as a 34-year-old man.

Our leasing criteria consists of:• Requiring gross monthly income to be 3 times the rent• Must not have an eviction within the past 5 years• Credit score of 500 or more• Pass background screening for criminal, public offenses and sex offenses• Verification of application information, including employment verification and landlord verification To provide to Motor City Property Managers:• Keys for each property• Driver’s license• Deed for each property• Banking information if you would like your funds ACH-ed to you• A check for $500 (this will be used to fund the required $250.00 reserve for each property)• Certificate of Occupancy (if this has been issued – on Friday I will have you meet with Tanya, our Inspection Coordinator so we can evaluate where you are in the process and what additional steps need to be taken)

And this next go-round, keep your baseline expectations firm as far as screening; proceed with the full spectrum of screening (an option that lets you pull not only their credit score, but also a full breakdown of their credit history, and also includes a nationwide criminal background check, sex offender registry list, and eviction history check).

But as I was filling out the offer contract this morning it informed me that I should look over the sex offender registry, and it wasn't looking good for that particular area.
