Allowing them to move in depends on your screening criteria (criminal findings) and your history with the original tenant.

I also hope we have a change in the White House and this requirement disappears immediately.It's interesting that this rule was created the rule to prevent companies from hiding criminal activity even though the vast majority of American companies will never engage in criminal activity.

Clayton and Natalie are no dummies they knew they would get wiped out financially so they decamped.. very tough to sue someone in another country .. the only remedy or justice will be if the US govmit in some form or fashion decides ( like his partner Whalen) to bring criminal charges..

They recently issued a criminal complaint with a formal court order number documented!

Jay, I will give you that there are a lot of yahoos who do stupid and criminal things.

The HML as you know never leave their office.. they collect data just like a bank does order the appraisal and all that jazz we dont do any of it.. we will run criminal though we dont want to be funding any bad actors or dead beats.

If your property manager has failed to remit funds they collected that is a crime and you should file criminal charges against their principals with the court commissioner. 

They may not prosecute, but they will cancel a contract on the spot.

I would advise you to approve this applicant unless there is a strong, objective reason not to - such as eviction history, a recent criminal conviction, or their income (including all disability income) is less than whatever standard you have used for all of your past tenants.  

He may also be willing to pay you back entirely to save his reputation and avoid prosecution for fraud or acting as a GC without a license.
