I have called other Prop management in the area that we're recommend, One person told me we don't do background checks we only do Criminal Checks, and we don't do Credit checks.

I appreciate what you guys do.I know things change by jurisdiction, but basically when there is a squatter, why is the squatter sometimes removed from the premisis and sometimes determined to be a "legal matter" instead of a criminal matter?  

What I learn is if the state finds out about it, I'll be imposed a severe fine, and have the state license to operate revoked, besides criminal prosecution.

For example, proof of income (3X rent for gross income) 560 or better credit score, no evictions in the past 5 years, no criminal background, etc. are all examples of what you can have.

I don't accept tenants below 700.When Steve does his criminal back ground checks, some of his tenants have rap sheets pages long.I have yet to encounter a tenant that had more than a ding on marijuana possession.Steve has to do evictions every single year.It's been about a 15 years since I did my last eviction, but that was from inherited tenants when I bought the building.Steve sometimes has some of his apts totally destroyed.For me, the worst that has happened is that a tenant left the apt in a mess and I have to hire someone to clean up.I think I made my point.The education that's been given to these Investors is that everything will work out just fine as if there isn't a lot of bumps in the rode to owning in "C" and "D" class neighborhoods.A lot of them self-manage and a lot have problems with Property Managers.I had one of my friends, Russell, who hired a PM for his Investment in a "D" neighborhood in PA.

The Senate is trying to fix the problem created in 2015 when a circuit court found Arkansas' criminal eviction provisions unconstitutional.  

For sure these’s a fraud aspect involved- but prosecutors don’t want to spend time filing charges of criminal fraud in what’s more probably civil fraud cases- and lawyers only take cases (on contingency) where the potential judgement is large enough AND  the defendant has the means to pay.

Blue Star is now dealing with the aftermath and fallout from unfulfilled promises to tenants, missing lead certificates, lack of signed lease agreements, and reconciling and correcting violations with the Baltimore Department of Housing.All told the combined neglect, misrepresentation, fraud and breach of contract breaches all fiduciary duty, and borders on criminal offense.For the immediate term, I am attempting to be made whole for the expenses incurred that include, but is not limited to the opportunity cost of lost rent, the cost of extended homeowners insurance for vacant property, the cost of all the remodeling and repairs ordered to be completed by the Baltimore Department of Housing.

Frankly nursing licenses are online and if she had a criminal issue it would probably show on her nursing license but maybe not.

It is too bad that our criminal justice system makes people pay for a crime and then gives a life sentence of institutional discrimination after that.
