Domestic Violence in Background Check

[Brad T.]

Hello Everyone,

  I have a house up for rent right now and some prospective tenants are interested in renting the house, but the husband and the wife both have domestic violence charges on their records.  They have been up front about their records.  I know that we need to treat all applicants equally, but what are your requirements for this type of issue?  Do you turn down all applicants with any type of criminal records?

Thanks for your thoughts,

Brad
