FELONS: My criminal record - how can I see what the apartment may "pull"



There are many background services - so you can't be 
sure of the one the complex you are applying will use - 
UNLESS YOU ASK


If you suspect that the information may be wrong, I suggest you spend a few dollars and pull the report yourself.  I have had clients who have been convicted of a vehicular manslaughter and the report says "manslaughter" - quite a difference in whether the apartment will accept that crime.

The difference in a robbery and aggravated robbery is huge; many complexes won't take a applicant if they used a weapon in a crime or if violence was used in the commission of a felony.

There are several websites that offer criminal checks.  I have no personal experience with any of these but I am supplying them as a service to my clients. They charge different rates for their products.

If you have any comments, please let me know and I will publish them.
