Many independent landlords don't do a thorough background check. However, most experienced landlords and property management companies would uncover this information by performing a basic background screening, which at the minimum would search an applicant's criminal records (nationwide), sex offender status, and OFAC (kinda like an international terrorist screening). More detailed reports would also include credit reports, bankruptcies, foreclosure, evictions, medical collections, past addresses, known aliases, employment history, and address history.

Whether or not this would exclude someone from consideration for a lease is up to the landlord/company policies, but risk of arrest is certainly a higher risk than most would accept.

If I were your prospective landlord and uncovered your warrant during the application process, provided the offense wasn't something I was ethically offended by and everything else checked out, I'd accept you with an additional security deposit.

An Apartment Lease Should be Very Specific?

As the owner/landlord of one or more apartments, it is imperative that you have a properly drawn up apartment lease that specifies all of the terms that you wish a tenant to comply with while occupying your property. There is much more to an apartment lease than the amount of rent you will collect each month. As a property owner, you want to protect your property as best as possible. Yes, you can ask for a security deposit, but if you get a crazy tenant, they can cause much more damage than the security deposit will cover. One very important thing to specify is the number of people allowed to occupy your apartment. Having 10 people in a 2 bedroom apartment is a recipe for disaster.

What is an ADA modified apartment?

Any apartment which has been modified to accommodate a disabled person would be considered an ADA modified apartment. The Americans with Disability Act, or ADA is a law which mandates that apartments must be modified to accommodate a disabled tenant. Any apartment that is subsidized by the federal government in any way, such as an LIHTC, requires that its owner pays for this. Conventional apartments, on the other hand, have the option of paying for it or allowing the tenant to pay for it, depending on the cost. Most ADA modified apartments are modified for wheelchair access, though many can be just as simple as having a raised toilet and grab bars.
