I had a neighbor moved into an apartment in my building. Criminal record for abduction and drugs. Whilst he was there he was dealing, communal bits were damaged, vandalised and stolen. He was then put away for a while for kicking a puppy to death. The council kept his tenancy open and he moved back in after release. Drug dealing continued, all sorts coming in. Then one day he fled, leaving his pot plants and samurai swords in the reception. Next I saw he got 14 years for the rape and false imprisonment of a vulnerable young woman in her own home. I know where I stand on this issue.i

If the city wants to make it easier for criminals to get housing, why not start halfway housing programs? 1. Only take ex cons. 2. Have several rules in the housing. 3. Have cameras and drug testing. 4. Have contact with parole officers. 5. Provide references to other housing based on behavior of tenants.

I was a landlord in Florida for 25 years and I have had my fair share of bad tenants. If I was not allowed to do a background check then I would not use a rental agency and rent the apartment out myself. I would use word of mouth to get excellent tenants and even charge a few hundred less if I knew they were going to be good renters. In the long run this new law will only make it more difficult for potential renters to find apartments because landlords will find a way to work around it.

Seems to me that people do not know, or forgot the definition of the word "discriminate". It means to differentiate, or distinguish. Yes, I want to distinguish someone who has been convicted of a crime from someone who has not. Idiotic to think that the word discriminate has a bad connotation without context.

@marthlink5015 7 ай бұрын

Here's a newsflash for ya buddy. It's ILLEGAL for employers to discriminate on people based on criminal background for a majority of jobs. The only jobs that technically hinge off of criminal history are usually jobs that coincide with allowances to particular criminal acts, so for example felons being unable to bear firearms are obvious disbarred from getting a job as a cop, or even private armed guard cause.... obviously they can't be allowed firearms. But even that is a point of contraversy that's being slowly chipped away at since there are felons with clean records who are denied the ability to vote or protect themselves or other things. It's a stonewalling that calls in our ability to call something Justice, safe, or fair. So whatever your talking about background checks you mean CURRENT- they are doing background checks to check if the person has current criminal activity like warrants, outstanding tickets, etc NOT so they can disbar them based off past events or atleast thats what their legally supposed to be used for. I know, i've worked management, i've done the searches- I work in security, we do it for our guards constantly.

I would not want nor willingly to live near sexual predators with criminal records as victim myself. It would have majority factor in my own decision to live there or not that I do rightfully deserve to know beforehand for renting because I have right to receive and feel secured, protected and safe within my own home. Criminals has loss huge part of regular privacy rights towards privacy rights of everyday citizens after their crimes and public criminal records compared to honest upstanding citizens without criminal records in life. Lawbiding citizens deserves to know if they have criminals living near themselves when comes to their own safety, security and protection in making majority decisions for themselves on where they will live and rent. Especially if you factor in people's vulnerable minor age children into renting apartments that needs beforehand acknowledgment of criminals when comes to their own safety , security and protection reasons towards known criminals with criminal history records that also includes sexual predators who has potential to live within apartments that is hidden from other current tenants and potential future tenants who rightfully deserves to know truth to majority factor into their decisions to live there or not. Only yourself had brought in racists factor that is not even issue factor when comes to safety , security and protection rightful reasons to have deservingly prior acknowledgement of criminal history records because criminals with criminal history records factually proven comes from all races altogether. Honest lawbiding people especially with vulnerable minor age children have most definitely deserving rights to majority factor in if there are criminals with criminal history records living in potential place you are deciding to live and rent there for their own rightful security, safety and protection from potential future crimes being committed by say criminals with criminal history records such as sexual predators who might be living there. It is only about rights to rightfully know about potential future harm towards one's own safety, security and protection when comes with potential criminals with criminal history records such as sexual predators that would be living beside yourselves to majority factor in if you decide to live there or not.

I know someone who owns a six family home in Williamsburg. He has chosen to keep 5 of those apartments empty because of past awful tenants. After spending thousands of dollars fixing damages and being scammed out of thousands of dollars in rent, he took his building off the market. This program is the cities way of pushing real problems behind closed doors so that they can claim that they've solved the problem. Two of the biggest reasons crime continues are substance abuse and mental illness. Until these issues are addressed in a real way, crime will continue. The cities fix is basically out of sight out of mind. This will not actually help anyone long term.

The thing is that not everyone with a criminal record chose that. There are people who have criminal records because they were wrongly accused of something they didn’t do, or because they were forced into criminal behavior do too things they couldn’t control like homelessness or personal needs like food and water. There are some really messed up people in the world but not everyone who has done something illegal or has a record did that out of choice. Then you have people who are young. Teenagers and people in their 20s. If you did something illegal when you were 19 and that got you a record then it shouldn’t ruin the rest of your life. Teens and young adults do stupid stuff all the time and sometimes that includes criminal activity. No im not saying that if you went and murdered 50 people you should be exempt. But if you graffitied a wall or stole some energy drinks in your late teens, that shouldn’t ruin your whole life just because you were young and stupid.

Glad to hear the application fee for rentals is now null. Back in the early 1990s, there was an apartment rental agency (and I’m sure they weren’t the only ones) in the Lower East Side who would advertise apartments at great rates. The catch was the $75 application / credit check fee. I recall looking at one amazing place and was ready to apply when I saw a person in line ahead of me submit their application and it was put on top of a 1.5 foot high stack of other applications for the very same apartment. I went back into the building and hung out in the hallways until I bumped into residents coming/going. I asked them if they knew how long the apartment had been vacant and they said over 2 years. The agency had no intention of renting it out; they made more money collecting application fees on it.

Just because someone is a registered sex offender doesn't automatically mean there's any chance that they'd grab your sister as she's walking down the street and drag her into an alley. Their actual crime may be something that doesn't pose any threat at all to your sister, even if they were going to do it again. I believe there are also cases where two minors who had consensual sex with each other both got charged with statutory rape and registered as sex offenders.

The way it’s going, I imagine landlords will stop advertising vacancies conventionally and will get their qualified tenants through word of mouth.

@apefrica I don't love to throw stones at others. In fact, I am a strict pacifist who holds a personal principle of not committing any level of violence against anybody, unless defending myself or another against an act of physical aggression. I'm not religious, so I can't say much about sinfulness, only that I have made it a point my whole life to exercise the self control required not to harm other people. It doesn't require that much restraint, and I don't care about feeling like I'm better or superior, I just think that's an important choice to make, and it's a choice I made well before reaching adulthood. The fact that most people make that same choice, is the only way we can live in anything we can rightly call a civilization, such that one can dare to go out in public without the constant fear of being victimized by someone who hasn't made that choice. I am no fan of laws against victimless crimes, like drug use... if those are your only crimes, it wouldn't bother me one bit to have you as a neighbor. And I am no landlord, but I can hardly blame them for not wanting tenants who have demonstrated a willingness to commit crimes against other people. They probably feel an obligation to protect themselves and their other tenants against those who have chosen to do so, and there is nothing unreasonable about that. There are landlords who do background checks, but who still can and do exercise some discretion in allowing someone with a criminal record in the past, depending on the situation. I am not some heartless stone thrower who believes someone should be condemned forever because of their past poor choices. But I am not anxious to have someone with a violent past live next door to me either, for reasons that shouldn't be that hard to understand. Most people are nonviolent by nature or by choice, but there are others who are not.

Indeed, one's credit score is typically the best measure to determine if the individual will pay the rent on time. I say this because, most people with stellar credit 800+ are responsible with respect to paying bills, which is why they have an 800+ credit score. These type of people would leave your rental if they lost their job or source of income, and work out a payment plan with the landlord, rather than stay in the apartment and end up with an eviction.

I can understand a landlord not wanting certain people renting their property. Is it right, not really, since the person could be completely rehabilitated and never commit another crime, but does someone renting want to take that chance - probably not. My mother had a 3-family home in the Bronx and wanted to rent out the bottom apartment. She thought she found the perfect tenant, a single woman with a good job, but once that single woman got a boyfriend everything went downhill. They'd play music into the morning hours. It was so loud everyone heard it so she asked her tenant not to play the music past a certain time, but that didn't work, the music played on. It finally got so bad that my mother asked her to move out. She moved out but not before doing damage to not only the bathroom, but the flooring. It cost my mother thousands to have it all fixed and she then decided not to rent the space, she was afraid it might happen again.

There are people who submit fake pay documents. Criminals/ ex cons utilize a friend who owns a company (typically tow tracking, truck driving, mechanic shop, construction etc.) to help them out. It’s the same when they have to submit proof of employment to parole/probation officers, to judges for leniency, or for bail release. Calling the employer to verify the authenticity of the documents doesn’t help, as the Company is apart of the conspiracy to commit fraud and will lie when contacted.

In Illinois you can ask for police records for rentals. You can turn down anybody, for any reason, if the rental is attached to the renters main residence. Surprised a landlord hasn’t cashed in on the ex-cons, and had a building where they were welcome. 🤷🏻‍♂️ All these “testers” will do is having landlords with waiting lists of preferred renters. They will get everybody’s info and put them on a list when something becomes available. Then they will call the applicants they prefer first, one of them get the apartment , then call the no-go testers up, meet and later say it’s been taken.

THAT what this is really all about. It's the first thing that came to my mind when i started watching the video. NYC has run out of places to house these illegal aliens and they are breaking entrepreneuers' income by forcing them to accept illegals. America is putting unvetted illegals before Americans and since so much money is being funded to non-profits, look for them to challenge and abuse the original intent of this law to force property owners to house illegals, who they know cannot undergo a serious background check. I expect to see a lot of property owners, who had depended on that rental income for retirement or passing down generational wealth to offspring, to just give up and sell to a real estate corporation, which is what the govt wants.

There are federal employees in NYC who are not allowed to associate with felons, this could cost someone their job if their neighbor is a felon especially if they don't report knowing a felon on their security paperwork because they don't know. As a victim of sexual assault I am appalled by this. I can only imagine how parents with children feel especially single moms. I have a feeling if this happens a lot of people are going to be buying protection dogs and guns which also creates issues. People should be able to feel safe in their own home.

If you can't do the time, don't do the crime. Actions have consequences and if you choose to be involved in a crime, then you need to be willing to accept the fact that doing that will have long reaching repercussions. Why do landlords have to constantly take it on the chin and let unacceptable tenants into their apartments? I know far to many people who had rentals and got dragged over the coals by tenants. Even ones they did do background checks on and who seemed to be a good choice. This is very unfair to the other people who already live there.

I have helped a lot of people with a "criminal" history. There is a big difference between someone who was 'young and stupid' which I think most of us were at some time but managed not to get caught and a career criminal. There is NO GARUNTEE that someone with a long criminal history is less likely to pay rent than some SOVERIGN citizen who seems to pay nothing to anyone. Landlords should be allowed to see criminal history and make REASONABLE decision based on that.

@PLuMUK54 7 ай бұрын

23.5% of the population of NYC have a criminal record? 😮 That is an insane percentage. However, it also tells me that a huge number of those people with a record must have committed a crime that ought to have no effect upon their ability to rent if they fulfil all other criteria. Rather than banning landlords from checking for a criminal record, perhaps there ought to be more nuanced responses from the authorities. Crimes could be categorised according to the risks to other tenants, the risk of non-payment of rent, the risk of damage to property, and so on. Landlords would only be provided with information about potential renters who were deemed to be a risk. Personally, I would be unhappy to think that a neighbour who shared the public space with me had committed multiple offences of violent crime. On the other hand, if they had committed non-violent crimes, then I would probably not be as concerned. I would not want to live with a neighbour with a long record of burglary (I have, and it's not good), but if their crime was tax evasion, I would not feel threatened. Politicians seem, these days, to think solely in black and white. Shades of grey are disappearing. Criminals should have a second chance, but that should not be at the expense of others. When it comes to a third, fourth, or fifth chance, then I do not think that they can complain if others do not want to take the risk.

I bought a cute, well maintained mobile home in a nice park to rent out. It was my first dive into rentals. I rented to a young single girl with a three year old child. Yes, she had a record, but had been clean for a few years and wanted a nice home for her child. The park even had to approve her living there, and they did. Six months into it I get a call from the park manager saying she had 48 hours to vacate their property. I was shocked, asked why, and was told she was openly dealing drugs in the street in front of the house, they had video, and 4 attorneys on payroll, she had to go no matter what I said or did, they wanted her out of there. I had to go tell her, and all hell broke loose. She completely totalled the place because she had to leave. I had to pay someone to sit and guard it because she threatened to burn it down. It cost me $$$$ to fix everything. I did not rent it again, I sold it for a great loss. I will leave the rental business for others. I would have been better off losing the money in the stock market.

Everyone does deserve a second chance but those people giving you a second chance have a right to know about your past, because they should have the right to protect themselves if you start showing that behavior again.. it should be up to the landlord who they rent the house to, I shouldn’t be required to let anyone rent a place I own if I’m not comfortable with it. And I hate to say it cause that does limit people with criminal records but that’s also why a lot of people try really hard not to break the law so stuff like that dosent follow them around when they try and rent a house. And I get it everyone is in a different situation, but at the end of the day a landlord owns the house and is liable to pay for any damages or anything that happens in that house. So they should be able to dictate who lives there.
