(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/tbmXE)
The practice of conducting criminal background checks on potential tenants has escalated over the years. This may have been precipitated by the advent of a security-conscious business community and also the ease with which public records are now available. In the past, apartment managers had to contact the courts to access criminal background information on a tenant. This in itself was a deterrent because it took time, and effort. Today, the Internet has made this extremely easy. One click of the mouse can access lots of information regarding a potential tenant.
