Renting
My husband and I just moved into a beautiful house, but we are just renting it. We are not yet financially stable enough to buy a house of our own. Before we were able to move in, the landlord wanted to do background checks on both of us. He looked through our court records and was happy to find that we were clean. We were able to move in the following week. I understand completely why people would want to check on backgrounds, because it would be scary to find out that your property is in the hands of a criminal.
