AAOA 犯罪背景调查未发现严重犯罪
2024 年 1 月,我支付了 50 美元购买 AAOA 认定的高级租户筛选报告,包括犯罪背景调查。返回的报告称,在全国范围内的刑事搜查中,没有发现我的潜在房客的犯罪记录。我确实租给了这位租户,在担心他们的一些行为和活动后,我决定做一些额外的研究。巴吞鲁日法院刑事记录部门的书记官在一天之内向我提供了记录,显示该房客被指控犯有多项持枪武装抢劫、入室盗窃和携带武器非法监禁等罪名。他认罪,以换取较轻的简单抢劫罪名,并被判处七年徒刑。根据 AAOA 的要求,我在筛选请求中提供了潜在租户的位置,即路易斯安那州巴吞鲁日。为了了解这些发生在巴吞鲁日且可以从犯罪记录部门轻松获得的犯罪行为为何会在筛查中被遗漏,我联系了 AAOA,并详细解释了情况。他们的回应是,东巴吞鲁日教区第十九司法地区法院不参与即时刑事搜查。他们列出了以下路易斯安那州地点,并引用其免责声明,前提是并非所有法院都会进行即时搜查,具体情况因州而异,并联系 AAOA 获取完整列表。 • 洛杉矶犯罪贩运 • 洛杉矶医生 • 洛杉矶监狱名单 • 拉斐特县 • 拉麦迪逊县 • 拉圣罗莎县 • 坦慕尼教区法院 • 拉沃尔顿县 • 洛杉矶华盛顿县 我再次联系 AAOA,指出路易斯安那州有教区,没有县,我们甚至没有圣罗莎教区或沃尔顿教区(或县),而且我们也没有惩教部 (DOC),而是公共安全和惩教部 (DPS&C)。我还注意到,他们实际上只搜索了整个路易斯安那州的 5 个地点,除了一个地点外,所有地点都仅限于教区一级。我确实想指出,AAOA 的回应表示,他们的租户筛选服务是由第三方 ARI 提供的,而不是由 AAOA 提供,并且他们确实承认圣罗莎和沃尔顿位于佛罗里达州而不是路易斯安那州。不管它们是由 AAOA 直接提供还是与他们签订合同的第三方提供,我的目的是希望路易斯安那州的其他房东在从 AAOA 订购高级租户筛选时了解搜索中实际包含的内容。
This customer's dispute is from April 2024 and is being posted again on Trustpilot. At that time, we responded to the customer to address their issues with the information they received. It is important to note: Not all jurisdictions are covered in instant criminal searches by any tenant screening provider. This customer chose to not read warnings provided or do a county repository search on their initial applicant search. If the customer had requested a repository search, the criminal records in question would have been located. As stated above, there is no nationwide background database because not all courts participate or allow for the collection of data. This is why all criminal results, when viewed online, display a disclaimer and AAOA has terms and conditions that also cover this. For a comprehensive criminal search, a county repository search needs to be conducted. These types of searches are provided by our vendor and vary in return time and cost depending on the court. Most tenant screening providers, like TransUnion Smartmove, do NOT offer repository searches. Our recommendation is to call a tenant screening service and provide all counties or parishes an applicant has lived in for the last 7-10 years to learn if it is included in their criminal reporting. If it is not, you'll want to seek another provider to ensure you're getting a complete report or attempt to locate those records on your own as this customer did.
