Violations are going to be decided on a case by case basis. That doesn't mean you can't consider criminal history information when makng a decision. You cannot refuse to rent because of a criminal history.

When it comes to fair housing HUD's policies are sometimes intentionally confusing! And, you are guilty until you prove yourself innocent. Not exactly the American way!

I think if you are going to screen for criminal records, it is important to screen all applicants.

What is a 'conflicted felon'???
(3rd line up from bottom)
Is that a typo or a 'thing'?

It could be bad.
It could get ugly.

Well, as Richard Weeks said, it is case by case. After all, you can not discriminate. But I doubt, that a child molester with a criminal records would be easily welcome to any community...

Richard Weeks has provided a good answer to your question. But on a personal level, I find this trend bothersome.

I still don't know a single landlord who would rent to someone with a "Defrauding the Innkeeper" conviction though. Or an eviction.

Its pretty basic rules-if you have a crime policy apply it to all people, not some of them. Same as all criteria.

Yes I've seen it.
Here's a good example: would you rent to someone convicted for check fraud? He would become a cash only tenant.

I no longer rent out any of my properties....I provide housing for family only....but if I was still renting property, I WOULD USE CRIMINAL BACKGROUND TO MAKE A DECISION...

Fred Griffin - the good thing is landlord decides who is going to be the tenant.
(Does not mean I agree or disagree with this policy. At least something in black and white out there...)

I like the Candice A. Donofrio point.
Any "conflicted" felon is ok in my book.
It asked, a felon with good credit may be better then someone with a clean record (did not get caught yet) and a good FICA score.

In the decades I have being doing prop mgmt, I never did this nor would do this. I focus on the positive, current aspects of who someone is subject to my criteria and verification...I' rent & manage not condemn & criticize
