Mandatory or Not Tenant Background Checks Make Sense
Professional tenant background checks that include criminal history checks have proven to reduce crime in rental neighborhoods. Some cities in the USA over the past few years have enacted new law making it mandatory for landlords and property managers to perform tenant background checks including a criminal background check on all new renters prior to signing a lease. One such city in Utah noticed up to a 30% reduction in calls for police and fire services in high rental neighborhoods since making tenant background checks mandatory.

When a Criminal Record Found is NOT the Person Being Investigated
For public record researchers finding as many possible matching records as they can on an individual is ideal. However, all users of public information do not share this belief. In fact employers a huge group of people that use public records, primarily criminal background records don’t want lots of data, they want real information that helps them to make wise employment screening decisions.
As the background retrieval industry moves to meet the demands of the employment screening clients within it, the quest of providing relevant, up to date and current criminal background checks begins. Part of accomplishing this feat is to provide more exact matching logic schemes that produce only criminal records associated with the person being investigated and not a bunch of data on people that aren’t being investigated. The key factors in achieving more precise matching is the pairing of unique identifiers like exact name, date of birth and social security number matching. Another key process for employers using instant criminal records retrieval searches like statewide or national criminal background checks is to then perform a county criminal check if a record is found at the state or national level. This ensures that the criminal record influencing an employment decision is in fact accurate, up to date, current and pertaining to the individual in question.

Landlords Beware of Nomadic Tenants
Forceful evictions by law enforcement officers have increased over the past few years creating a new breed of renters called “Nomadic Tenants”.

Running a credit check is necessary but not sufficient on its own to adequately screen a potential tenant prior to renting.
