Good morning, I am planning to buy a property to rent in Buckeye Shaker.I know it is a quarter with quite a lot of criminality.

Anything ridiculous gets turned in to insurance, and anything criminal - think concrete in toilets or cabinets torn off walls - goes to the police.

You should always protect yourself against professional tenants.I do a lot of screening including:- Credit Scores MUST be over 700- Income MUST be over 45 times monthly Rent- You MUST have a Landlord recommendation AND you must have 6 month Bank Statements to prove the Landlord's recommendation is not BS- You MUST have a clean Criminal Background- Tenant/Landlord Eviction Check must be cleanetc.A lot of these checks cannot be done in every Area, btw.

She might be fronting for her drug addict/criminal friend, son etc.

I thought I had helped the community by buying the houses criminals were using for their illicit business.

I have called other Prop management in the area that we're recommend, One person told me we don't do background checks we only do Criminal Checks, and we don't do Credit checks.

Also, crime websites show hardly any criminal activity there, so seems pretty safe.

Criminal penalties are not outside the realm of possibility depending on how egregious the conduct was. 

I would set your floor at 600.But, a better solution is to look at the whole person (credit score, criminal history, Landlord references, length of employment, and other factors) to determine a level of risk, then act to deny them or find a way to mitigate the risk.Some managers/landlords - including myself - will rent to anyone . . . as long as they are willing to pay the price to mitigate the risk. :)

I certainly can appreciate that a city/town comprises of a mixture of different neighborhoods where some areas can see more criminal activity that others.
