It is hard to check neighborhood crime before renting a property, but everyone wants to live in a safe neighborhood. To solve this problem, three companies allow users to search their neighborhoods for criminal activity. They are SpotCrime, CrimeMapping.com, and LexisNexis.

SpotCrime allows users to easily look up city and county crime data and reports. In addition, users can search neighborhood statistics by using a specific address for their search.
