The title process is confusing and seems criminal from my Candian friends experience. 

At the apartment complex where I worked (Fort Collins, CO) we required a larger security deposit for non-citizens because it is more difficult to look at credit/eviction/criminal history.

I'm at a loss right now and feel like there is nothing I can do to stop all this criminal activity from occurring on the property.

Prior to acceptance run credit/ criminal background, get proof of income, check references and previous employment. 

For a second offense, you could face 24 years in prison, and up to 35 years for a third offense.

What about Court Records...lots of traffic violations (no insurance, no license, expired tags)...misdemeanor or criminal?

Criminals need to be dealt with in creative ways.

I know for a couple of them I will need to call the employer and previous landlord but for a criminal, income, and credit check what do you all recommend doing?

My guess your county might provide the record lookup for county-related offenses, but probably won’t do other database checks.

My experience is that lower priced rentals east of the river without a lot of amenities attract people with a lot of problems - low credit scores, collections, evictions/L&T court cases, serious criminal issues.
