Are you wondering how far back landlords check your criminal history when applying for an apartment? In this video, we discuss the answer to this question and provide helpful resources for those looking to learn more. While federal law prohibits discrimination based on criminal history, landlords can still run background checks. Typically, landlords look back 7 years for criminal convictions, but they can go further back for serious crimes or if the applicant is on a sex offender registry. We also mention that some states have their own laws about how far back landlords can look.
