Is it legal for an apartment manager to "background check" your juvenile record although you are an adult?

I am trying to apply for a new apartment and the management pulled my juvinile record from some public records site online. They tell me because it says misdimeanor I falsified info on my application and can't rent there. They also tell me that it doesn't matter if I was a juvenile or not.

I have an old juvenile record filed under assault for threatening a classmate but was adjudicated by the judge. It happened when I was 16. I was told by my probation officer that when I get applications in the future they may ask if I have ever been convicted of a felony or misdimeanor and should answer NO, because I was never convicted. I was let off of probation early for exeptionally good behavior. I am currently in the process of getting everything expunged. I have had no other problems with the law of any kind and I am currently a Senior Security Officer for a very large security company and have lived in 3 different apartments before now and have had no problems like this until now.

You need to contact local courts and have you juvenile records sealed.

If they are going to treat you that way, than their not a place you want to live at.

BTW-NO, by law there not even suppose to be asking about anything under 18 yrs of age.

Juvenile records are generally sealed an can't be checked

He can only search what the courts have access to. He can't force a the country clerk to give him juvenile records.

all you gotta do is get his name and search his *** on line criminal search, and get him *** back, maybe he got something to hide, it may cost like 9 bucks but hey it's worth it, search his kids all that on the internet, also don't even move there, move elsewhere obviously somethings bound to happen and he will be the first to point fingers at you for anything, find another place, even Jesus in the bible says to his apostles if you knock on somebody door to bring good tidings and they refuse then wipe your shoes from that place and they will get all the dust and bad owed to them and you keep it moving cause someone else later on the road will welcome you. good luck yo - that guys a real asshole
