any free criminal or general background check sites?
« on: September 08, 2014, 05:06:28 am »
I'm going to court against my landlord and even before he started screwing with me I had a feeling he may be trouble.

Now we are going to court for XYZ reasons and I would like to do some personal digging to see what I can find on this con man but all the websites I have found I have to pay for

Also, does anyone know how to get a copy of a Craigslist ad that has been deleted to use in court? I know the police can ask but this isnt a criminal case.

You can check the online court case info for the STATE and countys you are in. If you are in the USA>

Just google 'online court case information (your state here)

works for other places too if you know there basic info, such as first and last name

As stated above you can look up online court cases. My county also allows you to look up inmates currently in the county jail and has an option to search the archive records therefore I am able to quickly see anyone who has been booked in the county jail and for what reason.

Most of the background check sites end up being paid, do what Skygear said. With some of the landlords basic info you could come across something.

^If you can't get the cached craigslist page, you can recreate it yourself using the firebug add-on for firefox and then take a screenshot, just make sure the date and time on your desktop matches up.

This may sound like a minor quibble, but are you taking him to court or is he taking you to court?

No I don't have the link :[

How do I do this? If you could explain I would REALLY appreciate it!!

I sent him a letter requesting some major repairs in the house (window/wall leak in the basement -- water pooling in my laundry room) and my ceiling falling down in the basement, etc and he responded to that with an eviction notice. I have perfect renters history, have always paid him on time and my house is spotless. I am fighting the eviction and building my case. I was just curious how many other people he's done this to.

If you are using it to "dig up dirt" that sounds more like blackmail to get him to drop the eviction. What were his grounds for eviction? How is the landlord being a "con man"?

The county clerk of courts keeps records on civil and criminal cases. Also, they or the county/city property appraiser could have history on his properties

A judge can make a subpoena for certain things if theyre pertinent to a case.

Just google his name and search those mugshot archiving websites, like busted and other nonsense. I hate those sites.

No, I'm not like that. I want to see if he's done this to other people and I am trying to  better grasp his character, he has been overly aggressive and rude to me. He owes me 450 in gas/utility bills, as per the lease I am not responsible for gas. He refuses. Also, he posted a bunch of false information about the rental on the Craigslist ad.

What you need to search for is "court docket" in the city he's in and also in the cities he's lived in.
Then also check out the BBB for any complaints against him.
