The only exception would be due to criminal activity that the tenant had no part in as substantiated by a police report.

One of the first things I do with someone I believe will be a PITA tenant is confirm their landlord/property owner through our online property records.The second thing I do is confirm criminal history (i.e., eviction history) through our local online local law Marshal's office (they are the ones who handle "tack and mail" notices for a variety of civil actions).Our applications state (and the applicant must sign) that what they have provided is truthful. 

hi, i am using a site called My Rental for screening and i cannot see the eviction history on an applicant even though it was on the report (along with credit and criminal) now it doesn't show.

But this has raised the pending question among critics as to why executives of the bank are not being held accountable, and further, that these individuals should be facing criminal charges.

The seller could also be putting in a friend of his with a criminal record , who work nights and partys all day , has 3 pit bulls , and 4 girlfriends .    

—In all criminal cases, contempt cases, and other cases filed pursuant to this chapter, if a party has sold, leased, or let real estate, the title to which was not in the party when it was offered for sale, lease, or letting, or such party has maintained an office bearing signs that real estate is for sale, lease, or rental thereat, or has advertised real estate for sale, lease, or rental, generally, or describing property, the title to which was not in such party at the time, it shall be a presumption that such party was acting or attempting to act as a real estate broker, and the burden of proof shall be upon him or her to show that he or she was not acting or attempting to act as a broker or sales associate.

It's theft which is criminal, the cops are just being lazy, oops I mean they don't have enough "resources".

@Marc JolicoeurOn your last point, can you still get away with "no criminal background" due to the new HUD guidelines?

We use a local screener, we get background, employment, criminal and credit plus she knows EVERYONE so often can help verify sob stories or other drama around the larger apartment complexes.

Sounds more like criminal mischief to me.
