Criminal background checks

[Conrad Legé]

Hello,

Im in the process of looking for tenants again for one of my units. I have used the PMS Avail for the last two years to manage my units & screen all potential tenants. However I realized that they no longer have the criminal backgrounding screening feature available. They stated due to regulatory changes in IL, they can no longer provide those reports for rental applications.

Does this mean I no longer can do a background check in IL or is there a work around with possibly another service I can use? Any insights appreciated.

Thanks,

[Nathan Gesner]

I did a search and don't see a ban on searching criminal history. Maybe Avail made a personal decision?
