Also, is it important to check criminal history? 

He may find another way to be a nuisance, but at least that one will be closed off.If it persists and you have police reports, you may be able to use them and your existing lease to evict if your lease has terms about quiet enjoyment or criminal activity.

They may do a criminal background check, but that's it. 4.

Criminals or people with a criminal history are not a protected class. 

We usually do a full screening on our tenants, that includes a credit, criminal and an eviction check for $35.

@Kristina Hinostroza Things I look for for personal rentals - At least 600 credit score, 2.5-3x the monthly rent in income, criminal background check. 

Also, collect any information he can provide as to contact info, name, vehicle description, whatever regarding the wannabe landlord, so you can make a criminal complaint with regard to Tenant #1.Fire your current PM if he has not collected a dime from #1 and done nothing to remedy the situation.

For example:  "We will check your criminal history and we deny anybody with a felony within the past 7 years. 

No criminal history (or whatever level you are comfortable with)Speak with past landlords, employers and have a background check completed. 

I have the income requirement on the application now, but I'm curious if other PMs list things such as minimum credit score, eviction-free period, and criminal check history requirements.
