But in this case were I got a 30k insurance check the insurance company had me subrogate  the claim to them and they were going to not only go after this person civily but file criminal charges..

It has some Basic info on the property, location, bed/bath, lease terms, pet policy, etc. then it has all of my qualifications: credit, income, deposit, criminal, background, application fee, etc.  

Obviously I have not checked the credit, criminal, background history yet but I will be doing it today if I like to go further with her.

They gave you a check that bounced , take that check to the courthouse and file criminal charges .  

Some landlords have a strict no-criminal-record policy, and will refuse to consider anyone convicted of a crime. 

Appreciate your advice and any expertise in this.Thanks If they both pass credit/criminal/eviction/landlord/income checks, and their combined income is enough, and they otherwise meet your criteria (no smoking, pets, etc.), you can't deny them.I'd really try to get previous landlords to let you know if he's had any behavior issues. 

If at any time during the term of this lease Tenant abandons the demised premises or any part thereof, Owner may, at his option, enter the demised premises by any means without being liable for any prosecution therefore, and without becoming liable to Tenant for damages or for any payment of any kind whatever, and may, at his discretion, as agent for Tenant, re-let the demised premises, or any part thereof, for the whole or any part of the then unexpired term, and may receive and collect all rent payable by virtue of such re-letting, and, at Owner’s option, hold Tenant liable for any difference between the rent that would have been payable under this lease during the balance of the unexpired term, if this lease had continued in force, and the net rent for such period realized by Owner by means of such re- letting.

Our current tenant screening company can only search criminal records by SS#. 

Well, there is that, plus the credit and criminal background checks.  

Wow, sounds pretty criminal - pocketing the rent in 'his' name, instead of collecting it for owner/landlord - than just 'civil'.Agree the PM likely paid for court filings, but there should be a bill, not a pocketing of all the rent collected.
