Forceful evictions by law enforcement officers have increased over the past few years creating a new breed of renters called “Nomadic Tenants”.  These types of tenants know the system well and could slip into one of your apartment units if you make the mistake of not running an eviction check on them before signing a lease.  Running a credit check is necessary but not sufficient on its own to adequately screen a potential tenant prior to renting.  It is recommended that adding an eviction search and national criminal background check to an existing tenant screening program will pay off in the long run.

With many retailers looking to beef up staff before the upcoming holiday season it would be wise of them to vet part-time employees the same as full-time.  Although retailers want to maximize their seasonal profits, it is in their best interest to leverage the risk associated with new part time help by conducting pre-employment background checks on them.  It is argued that part-time, temporary or seasonal employees should be vetted the same as full time employees as the risk of theft, damage or harassment remains the same and performing a criminal background check may catch an offender that may have become a repeat offender while working for you.

For more information on retail background checks and why background checks on temporary employees is just as important as vetting full time employees please view the following press release here

If you currently have a juvenile criminal record that is not expunged or sealed you should take the time to petition the court to have it sealed or removed.  In most cases across the country from state to state if you have your juvenile criminal record sealed then employers including the government (with the exception of police agencies and concessionaire licensing boards) will treat you the same as if you had never been convicted of that crime.  You are even allowed to put “No Criminal Convictions” on your job application assuming that you have not committed any other crimes beside your juvenile criminal record.

It is important to note that if your juvenile criminal record is not sealed and available to the public eye and to background screening companies you must petition the court to seal your record.  Chances are that if you have not become a repeat criminal offender and have completed whatever sentencing/punishment you where given the court will grant you your request and promptly seal your juvenile record.
