The process of finding a new apartment is one that can be exciting, but it may also take some time. There are a lot of factors to consider when you are shopping around, and you need to take them all into account before you decide to sign a lease and make a new apartment all your own. While you are looking at apartments, you will want to ask a lot of questions about the location of the apartment, the amenities that are offered, the cost of the rent, and how much space you can enjoy while there.

While you take some tours of the different apartments, you will also find that the landlord may have a few questions as well. They are renting out their property and as such, they want to make sure that they are getting a good tenant who will pay the rent on time and can take good care of the property. But there are some laws in place about the questions a landlord is allowed to ask about. These laws are in place to prevent the landlord from discriminating against one tenant compared to another.

During an interview with a potential landlord, it is possible for the landlord to ask a ton of questions to help determine your character and who you are. If they go through a background check, it is going to show them a lot more information, including some of the convictions that you have had in the past. Even though the landlord can see the convictions, they do not have any right to know about your arrest record and they are not allowed to ask about whether or not you have been arrested.

If your landlord starts to ask about this one, it is time to end the conversation. They will be able to choose whether to rent to you without that information, so do not allow them to ask it again. This is a protected class and the landlord can’t refuse to rent to you due to your arrest record.
