How Criminal Public Records can Help You Mitigate Business Risk
While many companies only utilize criminal history while hiring employees, criminal records can be used beyond H.R. to analyze potential risk(s).
Some banks incorporate criminal history into their risk evaluation process for loans (particularly SBA loans). The rental housing industry also commonly takes past criminal history into account when determining if their applicants meet their rental standards. Overall, criminal records are often used to analyze potential risk(s) in order to protect the company’s assets, employees, other residents, or to do their due diligence when extending financial offers.

Frequently Asked Consumer Questions
If you’re a renter or a consumer, we’ve got answers to your questions!
Are criminal records public?
Yes, most criminal court records are public records. However, there are circumstances in which a record could be expunged (removed from public record) or sealed.
Additionally, the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) database is maintained by the FBI and is not available for public viewing. Records within this database can only be accessed by an approved local, state, or federal law enforcement agency.
Can I get a criminal record expunged (removed from public record)?
Maybe. Some states allow criminal conviction records to be expunged or sealed. However, typically the judge would need a valid reason.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you’re a renter or a consumer, we’ve got answers to your questions!
How long does an eviction stay on your record?
Per the Fair Credit Reporting Act § 605.a, evictions are reported for 7 years. In Oregon, it’s 5 years (Senate Bill 91). If you see an eviction that is dated more than 7 years (or in Oregon’s case, five).
How do I get an eviction off my record?
Many states allow the renter to file for expungement to remove or seal the eviction from their records. Typically, tenants will need a valid reason (like the unlawful detainer action was not awarded to the property owner) in order for the expungement to be granted.
