Google ALL of your applicants!

This did not show up on the My Smart Move Screening report. I wonder why?

That's bothersome that it didn't show up in your reports.  I'd contact SmartMove about that.

But yeah, I always google people, before I schedule appointments usually.  One slipped through once and after her appointment I was thinking she seemed great, then Googled her and found out she embezzled money from the local society for the BLIND where she worked.  Yikes.  I told her that was why she was being denied and she told me that the case had been, uh, released or something like that.  I don't remember the term but basically she got a plea deal and it got expunged from her record. She didn't say she didn't do it, just that it didn't show on her criminal record anymore and didn't understand why I wouldn't rent to her.
