Tenant Felony Record

By Ques

I have a felony background. In 1998, I was accused of aggravated battery on a police officer. It happened when I was at a New Yrs eve party and e’thing got out of control. An officer was struck. He coulnd’t point out who did it, so e’one at the party was arrested. I didn’t have any money for a lawyer, so, I was stuck with the freaking case to hunt me for the rest of my life. That was 10 yrs ago. Recently, I tried to rent an apartment from a managment and my application was rejected. I also have a eviction on my record but it’s still pending I guess b’c I’m paying the court costs. The case never made it to the courts. But, it does show on my credit report. And I’m still living in the unit. I tried to rent an apartment from a mgmt comp but was rejected. I was told b’c of my background. How can I go about getting the felony expunged? or sealed? Can this be done online? When I was rejected by the new mgmt company. I was really upset but then I u’stand if they don’t want to rent to tenants with  a felony or has had a previous eviction. If I can show proof (like a letter from my current landlord), bldg can’t that help get me into another apartment? I’ve had the felony for 10 yrs now. Right after I did my time in jail. I found a job working in the pharmacy and with a background you can’t get a pharmacy license but I was able to obtain one. Plus I’ve been on my job for 5 yrs now. How come the mgmt comp couldn’t look at that and approve my rental application? I’ve talked to other tenants that rent from the same company I’m trying to rent from and they have backgrounds and evictions on their credit reports! But, why was I singled out! How can I report the mgmt comp and re’cv some type of justice? I know there should be some type of service that can go and do an audit on the company and check their records right? I just feel like I’ve been cheated or s’thing. I mean, I really liked this apartment and had my hopes up on getting the freaking thing and BOOM! I was told “sorry but we can’t process your application”. I was mainly upset b’c I’m tired of spending money for credit and application fees! I’ve even tried several times to call and speak with the manager. but, she’s not available. I’ve even left my number for her to call me back but she won’t return my calls. What a lamer!
