Landlords' Legal Responsibility
to Check Criminal History
If you're not properly screening your prospective
tenants and employees, you may be at risk.
A recent court case in Philadelphia was settled for $1.2 million, after
a maintenance man living on-site beat and strangled an elderly tenant while she was taking
a bath.
Attorneys for the estate of the slain tenant charged that if the owners
had checked the maintenance man's criminal record before hiring him, they would have
discovered he was on parole for robbing a tenant at a nearby complex.
Criminal Reports cannot completely eliminate your risk when hiring on-site staff
or renting out your property, but it may help reduce your chances of renting to a convicted
criminal.

for getting Criminal Records.

You.
