Many jurisdictions have switched to redacting SSNs from criminal [and civil] records before they are released.

Will there be a problem with running a credit/criminal background check on all applicants over 18 years old at a cost of $25 to each applicant?

But, you can require good credit and good references and no criminal and no bankruptcy and no eviction, etc.I just recently got my Section 8/HUD voucher. 

Figure out your criteria (accept pets, how many people, criminal OK, etc), how you are going to process applications (on-line service, fax in their application form, self serve), etc.As far as renting another place, it shouldn't hurt you - you have proven yourself financially responsible, that you are able to take care of minor maintenance issues, and probably have more realistic expectations.  

Screen for everything - credit, criminal, evictions, check all references. 

File a criminal complaint for the bounced check .  

For example if your tenant has unauthorized people over 18 in the property or executes a sub-lease when not allowed per the lease.If the tenant has criminal activity.

Just curious, but is there not a criminal complaint that can be filed for the larceny of the appliances?

They have study income that is more than 3x's rent and both credit scores are above 600 and have no criminal record.

Criminal cases are not stayed by the filing of a bankruptcy.
