OH REALLY ????? You don't seriously believe this do you ??????
No, im just going to defy all logic and statistics and just stick to my preconceived notions.
You probably have associated with a few murderers or people who BEAT murder charges and dont even know it. It's not like it's their job or obligation to tell you. Heck, you probably even rode the subway this morning and rubbed elbows with a few of them. Your still alive right ? It's a small world buddy. Just think of all the people who have KILLED and HAVE NOT been caught by police. It's a bigger percentage than you'd think. I see you have not even began to explore the thought of this. Live in your 'safety bubble' and keep thinking everyone is out to 'get' you.
I did a background check on a prospective tenant, he had no credit history and it turned out that he had been convicted of murder, his apartment is going to be above my office, I know some people would say he's done his time but I'm worried about the legal liability if he does something to a co tenant , or what happens if he decides he doesn't want to pay rent ? he has no credit history presumably because he spent a lot of time in jail, OTOH , I do feel bad for him and I know he needs to leave his current place very soon, I more or less promised to let him have the place before I found out about this murder 1 conviction, and I really need the money. Would you give him a chance ?
Well he had a guarantor that really went to bat for him, and I figured I'll give him a shot, so he's signed the lease , and I'll keep y'all posted anyone wants to start a pool ?, odds on us landing up in landlord tenant court, versus us in a shoot out, versus both of us living happily ever after in perfect landlord tenant harmony ?
Why not ?, not trying to be funny, I'm just really wrestling with this, I feel a little guilty -it's like I'm discriminating against him because of his past
It's not discriminating against his past, it's being diligent about your future.

Good luck. Truly hope it works out well for both of you.

Definitely keep us posted.

Well, it's a done deal so don't worry about anything unless problems arise, since you made your decision and he settled in. You were going to have a hard time getting good tenants due to your neighborhood, so I think it's good you took a risk. I hope it works well.
If it's white collar crime however, you should expect rent payments in advance.
