I personally don't think they really do back ground checks.

The worse the neighborhood, the more likely you'll be accepted without a background check.
Landlords are trying not to get sued by tenants who are victimized by "known criminals." They also want to avoid issues with drug sales on the property, etc. Short version: They want their property to be profitable, and some folks with criminal pasts are a significant risk to that.
As more time goes by "incident free" without new stuff in the criminal record, renting should get easier.

No landlord in his right mind would omit doing such checks. When I was landlording, I would always do such a check (through the local apartment association); an eviction on the record was unconditionally disqualifying.

Usually a private owner. Someone renting an upstairs or downstairs of a house. Most management companies run tenant checks.

Yep, a cheap, run down place in a bad part of town. A nice place will run credit, criminal and personal reference checks. Thats how they stay nice.

When I rented an apartment, all they checked was my financial information (as far as I know, anyway).

A good landlord will do the checks. Mine does.

A penitentiary, no they will certainly check your file first to choose your block.
