No risk to you. The neighbors might get mad, so what. If he does it again, you will need a new tenant. There are many level of sex offenders. They have to live somewhere. By having a good job, and a decent credit score, you eliminate much of the risk. He is a better tenant than a drug dealer.

Ask him about it if you are concerned.

"They have to live somewhere." How about under a bridge? What level offender do you want living next to your children?

No kids, so I don't care. But I have multi-family properties, so I do not even come close to renting to them. Once a tenant is in, it's too late. The ones on the national check, are the level IIIs. The worst. Most likely to re-offend. There are 1000's more that never make it to the list. I would rather have one of those, than a drug dealer. BUT, I am the strictest screener I know, so they would not get by my checks.

Yes sex-offenders need to live somewhere. And no not underneath a dog on bridge. They are humans just like us. Not even animals belong under a bridge. Not all level III sex offenders are repeat offenders. If the they drive a car with out a lixcence is grounds. So, instead of lableing them the way some landlords do . Ask the offender why they are a level III. All threes are not bad. It is hard enough to find an a place to live now days, give them a chance. DON'T LET YOUR THOUGHTS MAKE A DECISION BEFORE YOU KNOW MORE. THANK YOU
