In the mail we received a letter from the State of Iowa IMMC Reentry Coordinator - asking us to approve an inmate from the Iowa Medical and Classification Center..... He will be getting out of and needs a place to stay.

They have been completely honest and upfront about everything, and my disclosure says that if any one of the background checks is lacking, limited or negative, it is grounds for denial.

He would be moving into a Senior/Disability complex as he is a amputee with many health problems.

Sooooooo many things jump out at me that we could be being tested..... but I looked him up online and he is a legit person with the charges that they have mentioned and he sent a letter telling me about his charges and what happened.

Nervous nelly here.

If the letter came through the regular mail (not certified etc) then you never got it. Know what I mean?

Here in sunny California, the City, County and State Government will lie to the landlord about someone they wish to place into my rentals. They will say, "No need for a credit check, we've done that already!. He checks out so we will give you a $500 deposit, non-refundable! And we will guarantee the renters part of the rent for the first six months of their tenancy"!.

What they aren't telling me is the guy is an early release felon. No one will take him. NO JOB, only weeks off of the Booze. And a repeat offender.

With the early release from Jail, they are placing these criminals into Section 8 housing.

So when I was asked to take SEVEAL of these types of applicants. I simply said, "I will still have to run my own background checks including 2 credit reports and a Criminal History Report"!. Then the City hung up the phone knowing how bad a background check would have turned out.. --47.155.xx.xxx

Sounds like you are being asked to take a tenant with no income who might require special accommodations to the property/ unit? One of my requirements is verifiable rental history and now proof of payment as was mentioned in another recent post plus the minimum monthly income.

You cannot categorically deny for arrest record. What are the crime(s)? How about being a smoker and you don't take smokers? --24.194.xxx.xxx

Just following your normal screening criteria that you apply to all applicants. Looks to me like a violent criminal who doesn’t have 3X income as rent. --68.191.xx.xx

I'd say the use of a gun is a violent crime that can be a justified denial. Not to mention violence against women. --24.194.xxx.xxx

What amazes me the most is that his Case worker whom called me to get information knows that he would be going into housing for Seniors and those with Disabilities...... Ummm I wanted to ask her "Would YOU put this man in a building with YOUR family member?" I mean I get that she is trying to do her job and get him out of the system, but Nope. No thanks. No way. No how.

The government can build housing for people that are re-entering the community and manage them and take responsibility. --173.190.xx.xx

I learned on here to say."all welcome " until you have it all on paper and paid application and checked off your list of qualifications you can't make any decisions one way or other. They will go to easier route --172.56.xx.xxx
