Sometimes I take on tenant with eviction and they are the best - no hassle, pay on time Tenants.Sometimes you get a nurse with great income, adult, mature, talking good - she's not paying on time every month or get a boyfriend who is criminal and you've got much more trouble than with couple kids.I'm really interested in people experiences and don't want them to stop this discussion because of constant mention of Fair Housing....geeeez 

I should mention at this point that I had screened the tenants and they had excellent credit scores and rental history with no criminal record.

I've received dozens of calls and inquiries, but thus far they all have either had a very low income (rent would be over 50% of their net income) or they have a criminal background.

In D.C. you can't evict someone that is already a tenant for past criminal history unless they lied.

The last tenants were neighbor-from-hell, drunk & drugged out, criminal trespassers who habitually abused my property during all-night parties with numerous friends and relatives.

It would be a criminal act to do a lease option or even a leaseback on a short sale if that was not disclosed and, there would NEVER be an approval for a short sale with that disclosure so, if it did happen, the borrower lied.

For all they know you could be a criminal, ready to break into the property if you find out it is vacant. 

I suppose if there is a criminal complaint, that might show up. 

Before running the credit/background checks I always check references, facebook pages, and the state criminal website: http://pa.courts.state.mn.us/default.aspxI don't collect any application fee, they just pay as mentioned above.

I graduated from college in 2017 with a degree in safety management and criminal justice.
