I'm not the person you are replying to, but I would definitely interpret that negatively. First of all, I'm not going to take your word for it on the details. I don't know you and everyone convicted of a a crime insists they are innocent or otherwise in the right. I'd actually feel better about someone who expressed remorse over the situation. Even if I believed you, you are still telling me that you are a generally difficult person to deal with. I would not want to rent to a tenant who goes out of their way to unnecessarily flex their rights because in my state a tenant can make their landlord's life hell that way. I'd want reasonable tenants who I can be sure will pay their rent and leave when their lease is up.

I don't have any property to rent so it's purely hypothetical, but I would only be concerned with violent crimes, vandalism, or theft.

While I wouldn't think much of "disorderly conduct", with the amount of tenants around and it being, you know, my property, why should I take a risk on someone with a criminal past when I may have a dozen competing applicants many of whom may come in clean and have good credit? It's on the applicant to make a compelling case for themselves.
