Separate your business from your emotions. There may be no legal ramifications, but there is really absolutely no reason for you to do this.

There is already a database for tenant information, several, actually:

1.) Their credit history.
2.) Their rental history (previous evictions, landlord references).
3.) Their legal history (criminal records, past judgements).

Any landlord who screens properly with these methods is going to weed out the good from the bad. Anything posted on a public forum is subjective, meaning that it will contain a lot of opinion and other things that cannot be proven.

If your tenant burned you make sure to get a judgement so it appears on their record. If you had to evict them, they have already been punished more than they realize.

Alright, I guess. They didn't have prior evictions or small claims against them...until the month they moved into my property. That's how I found out who the real previous landlord was. Just frustrating since my rental property is not in the state I reside. Thanks for the input!
