Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New Jersey

I am screening a prospective tenant to rent my home. He said that he had a charge of failure to make dispostion in 1993. He is a partner in a construction firm and said that he had purchased $5000 worth of building material for a prospective job which he placed at the person's home and the person backed out of having the job done. So he entered the premises and removed the building material since the person had not paid anything and he found out later that he was not allowed to enter the property and take the material. He said that he changed his business procedure by only purchasing material with a signed contract and money down. Does that sound reasonable? Please advise if this is correct and if 1993 is long enough ago to dismiss. His current landlord said that he is a good tenant.

I don't think any of that would bother me but it is your decision.
