Paula was the landlord of an apartment complex and always investigated applicants' credit histories before they were allowed to move in. When Jason applied for residency in the complex, Paula conducted her usual screening process and found his credit satisfactory. After Jason moved in, Paula began receiving complaints from neighbors about strange noises coming from his apartment and visitors going in and out at all hours of the night. Curious about Jason's suspicious behavior, Paula decided to conduct a criminal record investigation. She was shocked to learn that Jason had been arrested and convicted for trafficking illegal substances and establishing a place for prostitution. Paula realized that the reputation of her community was at stake, so she immediately evicted Jason and added criminal record searches to her screening package.
