Local Apartment Complexes Screening Applicants For Criminal Records

It use to be, if you wanted to rent an apartment all you had to do was prove you could pay.

Now there's a new trend. Criminal background checks as part of most every application process here in East Tennessee.

These days, most apartment complexes won't rent to people if they've been convicted of a crime or if you're a registered sex offender.

Some potential renters now must not only have good credit history, they must be crime free.

"We process it through a website called one sight and they process the credit and criminal background check," says Michelle Ploque from Walkers Crossing Apartments, who adds, "T hat way you know exactly who's living here, that only qualified people are welcomed. Mainly for safety reasons and for your own peace of mind."

Filling-out a few extra forms is a slight hassle and the actual background checks could be considered an invasion of privacy. But the people we spoke with say it's worth it to live in a safe neighborhood.
