Forum / Tenant Screening/Advertising / criminal record
I have a deaf applicant who has a criminal record. Can I reject his app because of his record in SC

RE: criminal record
If you reject ANYONE who has a criminal record, then yes, being deaf has nothing to do with it. In fact you are treating him just like any other applicant.

RE: criminal record
To avoid problems in the future, you should reject his application. Always screen the tenant before renting out an apartment. I am using tenant screening services from Tropicana Realty, they check criminal record, credit history and previous eviction of tenants.
