I believe in redemption. A man pays for his crime and after he does his neighbors refuse him a place to live? That’s not my Christian faith. I’m sure folks have their reasons to pass on renting a house or apartment to a known felon, I just don’t believe in branding a scarlet letter on people. People do atone and move on in life.
Of course doesn’t mean you forgo doing due diligence.

Not allowing rehabilitated felons to live in safe neighborhoods condemns them to 2nd class lifestyles.

Three of them are tenants of mine.
That being said, make sure they are redeemed!

If someone has been convicted of rape, or murder (and I might possibly take into account what kind of murder it was, maybe), I just can't see knowingly putting myself and family in risk to rent to them. Especially if they're in a high recidivist group.
