Tenant Registry

[Shar]

I would also favor some type of registry for tenants.  I think it should be county wide, not just the City of Youngstown.  I would be curious how the one in Allan's area works.

YES

I'd be in favor of a tenant registry.  I'd like to hear Allan's answers to Towntalk's questions, too.

IMO, the answers to #2 & 3 are easy, though.  If you paid the $20 to be a registered landlord, you would have access to the tenant registry.

Perhaps Allan could answer these questions for the tenant registry in his city.

I would favor a tenant registry of bad tenants if it is able to keep them out of my neighborhood.
(we just had a bad tenant move out)(I hope that family doesn't move into any Forum member's neighborhood)

And what happens if there are two people with the same name, one with a spotless record, and one with a bad record?

I do not live in the city but a blacklist be better. Then only the bad tenents have to worry about their information being available.

Questions:

1. Just how much information would be made available?

2. Who would have access to the information?

3. If anyone could access the database, I'd have to say absolutely no. There's already too much personal information out there on individuals that anyone can access.

Why not just have an all inclusive public database that includes absolutely every detail about every American including tax records ... bank records ... Social Security records ... credit records ... medical records ... everything so that anyone could access the information at their leasure?

Allan mentioned a tenant registry in the city where he lives.
