[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 739767, member: 1963"] You might have better luck with 2 and 4 flats, etc., where he can meet and speak with the actual landlord. I know when I applied and was interviewed for my apartment here outside of Milwaukee, I was stunned that they actually did a full background check. I live in a huge complex owned by a huge property management firm that has over 150 complexes in 3 states. When I found out about the background check, I asked what they were looking for. I found out they didn't rent to those convicted of domestic violence or any other violent crimes, those convicted of possession other than marijuana and other "soft"drugs and those with multiple felony convictions. They also do not rent to sex offenders. That said, we do get our share of drug, DV, etc., calls here. Another issue is that even some small property owners check credit, all complex owners do. All require proof of income and many require proof of stable employment going back for a certain period of time, often 6 months. I wish your son the best of luck. There are a lot of obstacles in the way of felons finding housing and otherwise making a new start. [/QUOTE]
