As we all know criminal cases take a ton of time.

Of course, if you became aware of your tenants using the electrical or the telephony services to carry out criminal acts, the situation would change similarly.

Heck, I even heard a guy on the podcast talk about filtering by criminal records, haha.If there's any kind of inspector-client confidentiality rule or law, perhaps you could just ask him about that before moving forward.

A screening tool I like to use in addition to the credit and criminal check vendors is the PA court dockets. 

My explanation: Cold weather kept the criminals inside for a few weeks.

You indicated earlier that these actions were criminal offenses.  

Seems everyone tries to circumvent real estate laws, that those are the only applicable laws in real estate.......absolutely not, you have the uniform commercial code, you have civil law and torts, advertising issues and fair dealing with the federal trade e commission, you have the securities and exchange commission in raising money, we have a string of consumer protection laws and all of this seems to be totally ignored by newbie wholesalers, not really addressing you Dio, but all of them on BP.A contract that is made to accomplish an illegal act is not a valid contract and that can be conspiracy as in conspiracy to commit fraud or some other criminal act!

individuals accused of (real estate brokering) unlicensed activity may receive a “Notice to Appear” that requires an appearance in criminal court.

Just the normal credit score, criminal history etc? 

I will also be very clear with my property manager about tenant screening (prior evictions, criminal records, etc.).
