    Default Can a Parole Department Require Documentation That Your Landlord Knows Your Record

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: CALIFORNIA.

    MY HUSBAND IS IN SAN FRANCISCO AND I'M IN SONOMA COUNTY. WE HAVE SUBMITTED THE REQUIRED MATERIAL AND HAD OUR HOMESTUDY- SAN FRANCISCO PULLED THE PAPERWORK AND THEN, ASKED FOR A COPY OF THE LEASE WITH HIM ON IT AND A LETTER FROM THE MANAGEMENT/LEASING COMPANY OF OUR APARTMENT STATING THAT HE IS A "MURDERER" AND THEY ARE AWARE. MY HUSBAND COMMITTED HIS OFFENSE IN 1992 WHEN HE WAS A JUVENILE... HIS 41 NOW AND HAS NOT BEEN A PROBLEM PAROLEE.

    ARE SUCH LETTERS A REQUIREMENT? IS IT UNLAWFUL? HIS OFFENSE DID NOT SHOW UP ON HIS BACKGROUND CHECK... IT WAS NEARLY 25 YEARS AGO. HE HAS NOT BEEN VIOLENT SINCE. I UNDERSTAND MAKING SURE HE IS ON THE LEASE... AND CAN REASONABLY ACCEPT THAT HE WOULD NEED TO PROVIDE A COPY OF IT. THEY HAVE A COPY OF THE LEASE APPLICATION SHOWING HIS ADDRESS AS A HALF WAY HOUSE AND HIS RESIDENCE BEFORE THAT AS SOLEDAD PRISON... WE DIVULGED THAT HE WAS COMMITTED OF A FELONY WITH THE YEAR AND LOCATION AS THE COMPANY REQUESTED. THEY STATED IF IT DOESN'T SHOW UP ON HIS BACKGROUND CHECK- IT IS IRRELEVANT FROM THEIR STANDPOINT.

    NO ONE ELSE IS HAVING TO DO THIS... NONE OF THE OTHER LIFERS IN HIS PROGRAM AND NONE HE HAS SPOKE TO THAT HAVE RECENTLY PAROLED AND TRANSFERRED HOME. WHAT CAN WE DO? I THINK THE RENTAL APPLICATION SHOULD SUFFICE, SHOULD IT NOT?

    What you have to understand is that when Probation says "do it" the probationer does it.

    Doesn't matter if you like it or not. Doesn't matter what's happening to anybody else.

    As to what you can do, you can hire a criminal defense attorney to look into the matter and see if it's worth getting the courts involved.

    1st, don't type in all caps. It makes it appear that your shouting at us. Don't shout at us.

    Your husbands PO can require him do do pretty much whatever he wants. When you on parole or probation you are largely at the whim of that person and they can make your life difficult but as your self this (or your hubby should) will it be better in prison or dealing with the BS.

    Parole means that he's still a convict. He's still under sentence and is subject to supervision to varying degrees. What other parolees are having to do is dependent on their POs, not his.
