[quote=Anonymous]In DC landlords cannot consider past criminal convictions if more than 7 years old, no matter how heinous. So if someone served 8 years for the rape of a child, then gets out, landlord can't consider that when renting a unit in a building filled with families. They also cannot consider credit if rent is paid with a voucher or past evictions even if for grounds other than non-payment.

SO at least are often on a registry. Murderers are being moved into buildings and there is no way to know. One recently was moved into a building in Chevy Chase DC that is full of the unsuspecting and vulnerable elderly and families of modest means eager to get their kids into Lafayette, Deal, JR.

There have been issues in condo buildings too, where individual landlords are eager to get in on the $$$ that they city pays over market rate for vouchers. Any multifamily housing may have unanticipated safety risks. If not from the voucher holder, then their associates. Over time, many buildings tip and become de facto, overpriced, private public housing. [/quote]
