A presumed sexual predator just tried to rent from me

Unbelievable. Besides his vague inquiry about the bg check, he was unwilling to tell me what his exact charges were. Just that they were child abuse. I asked him if it was a felony and he hemmed and hawed but wouldn't directly say it was other than saying it was 10 years ago, etc.

This tops the weirdos I've had this week. 

Second place is the lady who called wanting to run a commercial trucking business out of a residential rental with an entire fleet of 18 wheelers, admitted she pays late on rent because of their trucking business income being inconsistent (I not only put dq's in the add but every email from a prospect I go over it again to avoid the time wasters), and oh, by the way we have a pit bull....

Third place is the lady who sent me emails for the same property several times and was responded to several times and was reminded of the dq's. She never replies she just emails me for the same listing every day. It's like she's unable to tell that it's the same property she emailed before...

In Chicago, they send "spies" to make sure you are following fair housing laws. And it's so obvious, they send a pic of a black person and say "can I rent your apartment" and I say yes then they set up an appt to view and don't show up.
