    Default Apartment Approval

    My question involves criminal records for the state of: Mississippi

    Hello. I have been living in a house for the past 15 years or so...trying to downsize my life and change behavior from a "busy life."
    Wondering about something they said: "The only reason we might reject someone is activity on your criminal record."

    What does that mean?

    Presumably it means that they will run a background check and, if crimes show up, your criminal history could deter them from renting to you.

    OK- thank you. Ran into a mistake of a lifetime a few months ago. Felony charges but to be pled out. No conviction. Will that show up? Should I get some letters of reference for the rental? Should I tell them?

    The charges will most likely show. In general, it is best to be honest about your record. References may or may not make a difference. They will most likely give consideration to the nature of the charges in making their decision.
