Re: Should employers & landlords be prohibited from asking applicants if they have a
Pretty much anything more then a parking ticket or minor moving violation disqualified any applicant; and remains cause to evict, I might add, as per the terms of the lease.
Basically, if an applicant is such an absent minded retard that they don't even pay attention to street lights, then she sure as hell didn't want that person driving around on her lots where there's always children playing.
It's like submitting a resume: it's not an issue of how much I care about my privacy, it's about me marketing myself to the landlord so she chooses me over my competition. I pulled no punch. I had all the paperwork professionally assembled with the token application fee paid the same day. Hell I even wore my uniform to the 'tenant interview'.
I'm sorry you hold onto an inaccurate view of the situation. I saw what I wanted and I went for it. I consider the permissions she wanted as part of her asking price, and imo I still got a deal. This place is awesome.
I have to ask one question: clean DMV? Does that mean if you had been in a car accident once, say you ran a red and t-boned someone without causing any major injuries or deaths, that you might not have gotten the place?

Otherwise, if you honestly care that little about your privacy, more power to you.

It's good that some people are willing to take those spots, or else control freaks would never have anyone to monitor and control.
