I understand renters need to go through a lot of screening to get a place ie credit check, employment check, etc. Where are the protections for the renters against their landlords? How can it be possible for a child sex offender to be able to rent out a place without the renters knowledge of their legal record? I’m asking for a friend here.

Is the concern here a safety one or a moral one?

Ive had 1 direct, in person interaction with any one my landlords over the past 6 years. From a safety perspective it just wouldn't matter very much if my landlord was a sex offender. Simply because I never interact with them.

Morally speaking I get not wanting to rent from someone with that kind of record, but this seems to be enough of an edge case no one has thought to put a rule in place about it.

And fwiw, there are a ton of protections for renters, but they are focused on landlord providing safe and inhabitable housing to the renter.

Before you’re like well did you google the landlord — they used a nickname of their legal name on all leasing documents and they (again there is truly someone out there for anyone) got married and took on their husbands married name.

I have been talking to a recruiter for a little over a month about a position. I let her know out the gate that I really wasn’t looking to change jobs, but she just kept wanting to continuing the conversation. I didn’t have 2 interviews with the hiring coming and they know that I am not really looking to make a switch. They are now working on an offer letter and I know they’re going to offer me more money. I’m having my annual review this week. Any advice on how to handle a) job offer b) review?
