Personally, I support their right to background checks. One of those articles talks about finding housing being a critical part of rehabilitation, and I'm all for second chances at becoming an honest citizen, but I don't think it's fair to make honest citizens have to take the gamble on convicts. I still want them to get their fair second chance, but maybe the government should have a program of offering housing to rehabilitated criminals. At this point people probably read "tax dollars" and red flags go up, but I mean for them to pay rent just the same as if it was any other rented property. Seems like a win-win.

You make a good case. Im not willing to throw tax bucks at criminals but if they still have to pay then I dont see the harm in your suggested plan.

I can't stand behind the convicts. People have a right to know if you are a convict. I see the irony in me saying that when my avatar choice is from a hacker.

Are there people that seriously don't think landlords should be able to run background checks on tenants?

Seems like a win-win. i dont always agree but i do with this. a good idea is a good idea. they get a second chance and nobody takes a risk and it dont cost tax money. |
