She had a job; no history of eviction; and no criminal record.

I highly doubt the money holding company is giving lie detector tests and there is no way a basic criminal background check, which is all computerized, is as expensive as an Special Agent going out and doing interviews, collecting documents, assessing information, creating and typing reports, etc. etc.

As it's already been mentioned, that's rewarding bad behavior.

When you do a credit check and a criminal background check on prospective tenants, what site do you use and how much do you pay?

Noises such as babies crying are not grounds for complaints and due to the fact that children at that age cannot control their behavior, laws will not apply.But with all of that said, I would definitely contact your landlord as well as the Housing Authority to at least inform them of the guest on the premises to help establish a starting point for the possible violation of the rules and regulation.I hope this helps!

I don't condone slumlords, but I also don't think it's a landlord's job to try to try to change the behaviors of the entire neighborhood.

Hi Jean and Bill, appreciate the updates.I believe that many of these cases are Civil NOT Criminal under RICO (both can apply) therefore there is no felony or criminal record.

Among those remedies are both civil and criminal sanctions that may exist in your particular jurisdiction.

She had a clean credit and criminal prior to signing. 

Result: bankrupt, skipped on prior landlord, collections, foreclosure, 28 criminal appearances including sex crime…a real sweetheart.
