FR OK I missed the part - "he bought an apartment". This does sticky up the wicket a bit, but offers more opportunity. Aneirin, look in your OWN contract with the association or whatever they call it. It might be quite revealing. LE; It seems easy but some of the sources are not so reliable. The only real way is to know someone who can access the actual NCIC database, and those are usually LEOs, but a connected lawyer can usually get to it. Interesting point, if I may wander into it temporarily. (try not to hijack that is). The US has taken to private record holding when it comes to certain things. For example I have known some people, an insurance guy tells me he can't accerss my ACTUAL driving record. However when you have insurance the LEOs report infractions to the insurance compamy which then forward them to a company that simply serves as a database for subscibers. Now this is for traffic only. The most well known company engaged in this right now is called Choicepoint. As I am soon to become a landlord, there is another agency. They send someone down to housing court periodically and all they do is compile a list of names of litigants. This provides a databasde for homeowners who are going to get their feet wet in the rental game. It is not truly access to the court records. Actually that can be had when it comes to housing court, but the dtabase service makes the search alot easier, and they cover many venues as well. In other words, the prospective tenants could have burned down three houses in Eastlake and if I check the Cleveland records I will find nothing. Likewise, as my buddy the insurance guy said, that is why car insurance is so high if you haven't had it for awhile, you could have done anything and we would have no idea. Choicepoint also gathers data from as many venues as they possibly can cover of course. In fact that brings up a possible course of action. If such a database exists there, a query is not likely to be found easily. Just pose as a potential landlord. Of course the association might have, but as I stated before, in this case any additional information can be useful. T
