Tenant references are still a credit history.
No credit reports, eh?
How do you deal with career deadbeats who'd
move from mark to mark, not paying bills?

Not here, a reference would, for example, be a letter from your employer stating how secure your job is.

Although there are homeless, it is illegal to refuse a prospective tenant if they can prove they can pay the rent.

It is also illegal to make a contract while knowing you have no intention of paying.

How you deal with them is through the courts.

My town is heading that way, but they have to address
federal requirements to do some criminal checking.
They're prone to passing laws that conflict with other
law...no matter what ya do, it's illegal somehow.

Good law.
Here it isn't a crime to commit that kind of fraud.

Going to court is a sign that one has already lost.

Then lobby your politicians to not prosecute
landlords when criminals we rent to use drugs,
make drugs, vandalize the property, & invite
all their friends to over-occupy the unit with
frequent loud all-nite parties.

After being a landlord for a short time and had a non-criminal tenant invite all his friends over not just to party but to live there (4 people in a one bedroom, 2 room small flat)...

and

having had a non-criminally convicted nurse who was taking drugs from the hospital which I surmised by her behavior and by a couple of guys looking like and dressing like FBI who showed up just after she moved out...

and

and having a father who had rental units and had non-criminal tenants vandalize apartments including spreading their own dung on the walls...

my conclusion from my experience is that not being convicted of a crime has nothing to do with people being a good tenant or not.

Non-criminals are can be bad too.
But I wouldn't rent to an applicant convicted of arson,
vandalism, & fraud. The odds aren't in their favor.

I did once rent to a convicted child molester.
That meant a little extra consideration.

Landlords’ Duty To Prevent Crime | Tobener Ravenscroft LLP - CA's laws are reasonable to me.

As far as the rapist/daughter extreme question goes, of course I'd be nervous. But only very slightly more nervous than any dude showing excessive interest in my daughter.

Add french bureaucracy to that and you've got real fun

Good law.

I was once almost caught out paying for fuel. Tried to pay with a British debit card just after a unexpected major payments had gone out, the card was refused. I was lucky in just having recieved my french card so paid with that.

Going to court is a sign that one has already lost.

Thats how it works here.

Of course, but no credit reports

Unfortunately, here it all revolves around money. Employers even check credit scores of potential employees. It's assumed money is a great incentive for whatever. Pay for it and you'll take better care of it. Amd throwing money at a problem or taking it from a problem is sufficient to address the problem. It's also assumed rich people got rich by being smarter and working harder. Never mind the fact there is no correlation to support that myth.
But America is blunt and straightforward with Mammon being god. They say Jehovah, but private, personal lives, state, social institutions, they all revolve around the Golden Calf, who grew into a Golden Bull who sits in front of a symbol of a building that runs the puppet show where the puppet masters pull government strings.

Reference checks.
As in, learn about the person as a human being instead of a number.

Would you want your daughter living in
an apartment next to a convicted rapist?

He has to register, people are going to know, people are going to watch. And if anything suspicious happens, or of it doesn't happen, he's going to get blamed for it.
Sort of one of those ironic things in life, like how your kids probably couldn't be safer from predators when someone in the mafia is watching the playground (and a few biker gang members I've known who would/have rearranged faces protecting kids).
Better than living in a place where people are deluded and believe there's nothing like that in their neighborhood and nothing bad happens there. I couldn't be as assured people would be watching.

The human is more than reference checks too.

More or less, that's my take on it.
He was a good risk as a tenant.
But I wouldn't hire him as a baby sitter.

I purposely didn't suggest the PRC because it has
too much capitalism for her....albeit a kind of
"command capitalism". For example, the government
organizes boycotts of (foreign) companies it finds
politically incorrect. Weird place, eh.

But they aren't into credit checks....heck...they aren't even really into credit cards at all......But populace also has real issues with Americans when there is friction between America and China....also not very friendly to those they do not see as "normal"

Speaking of California, I just came across this story about a pilot in an open-mic rant about the place: Hot mic: Airline pilot caught ranting about the Bay Area | KRON4

SAN JOSE (KRON) – A pilot flying out of San Jose International Airport was caught on a hot mic spewing an expletive-laced rant about California liberals and Hyundai drivers over air traffic control radio, according to officials.

“F**k this place, god***n liberal f**ks,” the pilot is heard saying on March 12. “Eight guns out here somewhere as it is. F**king weirdos, probably driving around in f**king Hyundais, f**king roads and s**t that go slow as f**k. You don’t have balls unless you’re f**king rolling coal, man. God****it.”

Southwest has confirmed that this was one of its employees.

The airline released the following statement to KRON4:

“Our corporate culture is built on a tenet of treating others with concern and dignity and the comments are inconsistent with the professional behavior and overall respect that we require from our employees,” the airline said in a statement. “This situation was an isolated incident involving a single employee and not representative of the nearly 60,000 hardworking, respectful people of Southwest Airlines. We do not publicly discuss employee matters, but we are fully addressing the situation internally.”

The FAA also commented on the incident, saying it remains under investigation:

“FAA regulations prohibit airline pilots from talking about subjects that are unrelated to safely conducting their flight while taxiing and while flying below 10,000 feet altitude. The FAA is investigating communications that an airline pilot made while taxiing at Mineta San Jose International Airport last week. The FAA also reported the incident to the airline.

The pilot didn't like California.
