Our state also lists things like traffic tickets, divorces, child support cases, etc etc, which I don't feel would automatically disqualify a renter.

I searched the Wisc site because we are close to the boarder, but their site was hard to use.......and didn't find much info, so your experience may vary!!
That's a great resource. However, if you do a background through the likes of your state's DOJ, then that search will go through NCIC/CJIN which is the nationwide database used by all law enforcement. It covers all states, all crimes and whether they were convicted or not.
