Forum / Tenant Screening/Advertising / Screening new tenant
When doing a criminal background check how far back do you check and how in-depth should it show? I question the fact that I did criminal check on a possible new tenant and it seems very vague. It just showed that he has traffic violation. This it seems normal for criminal check.

Traffic violations are non-issues.

Traffic violation is not a big issue. I always screen the tenants through Lone Star Realty, a real estate and property management firm in Texas.
