When the potential tenant first met me , they were upfront and mentioned that they were arrested for marijuana 10 yrs ago (which I now found out was 6 yrs ago , but still far enough in the past) .

I've dealt with BS reviews of my work place on YELP and its not fun....they are often very one side lies and there is near ZERO I can do about it....but YELP is just the platform, not the one making the reviewYou are essentially making a formal private blacklist.... and if it becomes public in some way, you will be the one left holding the bag.Cities are making lists of people based on legal documents...evictions, fines, arrests, judgments...all documented legal cases.... not personal reviews...huge difference.

We deny promptly anyone who does not have 2x income and/or recent arrests.

Federal, state, and local laws apply.Discriminating on the basis of criminal records may be the basis for a race discrimination suit, because minorities have higher arrest and conviction rates than whites do.

Some real life examples from people I know ...burning a garage down to the ground, in a multi-family one guy robbing the other tenants/building/handymen, one guy getting arrested cause he was kicking his girlfriend in the face in the common area of an apartment building, squatters, drugs, stealing copper and electrical first time the house is vacant, not paying rent, evictions, homeless people sleeping in the lobby, smearing poop all over the house when they got evicted, flea infestation, sneaking bad aggressive dogs in...could go on but you get the picture.

You would be breaking and entering and subject to arrest . 

. – A North Carolina man has been charged with abandoning a pet fish that authorities say he left behind without food when he was evicted.News outlets report that that New Hanover County Sheriff's Office arrested 53-year-old Michael Hinson on Wednesday and charged him with one count of abandonment of an animal and three counts of misdemeanor cruelty to animals.Officials say Hinson was evicted from his Wilmington home last month and left behind an Oscar fish in poor health in a dirty tank.

“ - Situation: Tenant went to jail for 17 days but had never spoken about his charge, he was arrested for doing something illegal that day.

, was threatening to my crew (his wife was too), his kids harassed other tenants because they were unsupervised most of the time, and then we learned he was arrested for parole violations, drug possession, assault and suspected robbery.

On the other one, both worked and were fine for about a year, then he got hit with back child support and she got drunk in public and arrested so they fell behind in payments.
