Potential tenant with felony prescription medication conviction, not violent, wasn't incarcerated, sounds like previous landlord said he pays on time.

Because of their violent history and arrests, I don't want to have to go back to the unit to let these low-lifes back in to pack and move.

The have started reacting violently and threaten me with violence when the toilet is plugged up again or the sink started leaking or they brought bugs and want me to solve their problems.

If the police have a search warrant for your house, then they have the legal authority to enter the premises, often by force, but lets look at a couple common sense facts:Police are not likely to break down your door, unless they believe you may 1) have weapons 2) be a flight risk wanted on fairly serious charges 3) be hiding and have made attempts to contact you at the residence at least once before.Generally in the case of non-violent or non serious offenders, the police would generally knock and ask to talk to you.

The lazy, crime types, and even the domestic violent types, thrive on chaos, hence, not stable and nightmare tenants.Of course, these are just examples, merely to demonstrate that as a friend, you have insight on whether your friendvis the stable type that cares of the condition where they reside.

From my own experience, if I simply stick to these items and know nothing else, I manage an excellent batting average when it comes to tenant selection.First off, if ANY of the adults who will be on the lease have evictions or violent or drug related criminal convictions, I reject the entire group/family.
