North Carolina tenant screening records contain data from as early as 1972, depending on courts searched and the type of offense registered. Rowan, Mecklenburg, and Cabarrus are the only counties with public, state-provided arrest logs. Information obtained through screening cannot be used to alter a current rental agreement, unless the tenant is shown to have breached said agreement.
