If you ever
apply for a job
or an apartment,
your landlord or
employer may
perform a
criminal
background
investigation to
see if you've
committed any
felonies or
misdemeanors.
Since criminal
records are
actually public
records,
landlords and
employers do not
need your
consent to
conduct their
research using
court abstracts.
Therefore, you
may not even
know your record
was searched
until your
denial letter
arrives in the
mail.
Why
bother
searching?
Because it's
better for you
to disclose and
offer an
explanation
about your past
upfront before
someone
unexpectedly
finds out.
Search for
your own
criminal record
