Having bad credit will not necessarily preclude you from finding apartments for rent. Indeed, it is helpful having a good credit score or an impeccable credit report, as some landlords will request to view your credit history so that they can be sure you plan on paying your apartment’s rent in a timely fashion.
Don’t get too worried if you have a bad credit score. There is typically not a minimum credit score that you need to rent apartments. Apartment landlords will not rely solely on one number in order to decide whether or not to rent to you.
That which is important is that your potential landlord can feel confident that you will be able to afford his or her apartment rental for the duration of your lease and that you can be expected to pay each month.
There are a couple of things that you can do if you do have a problematic credit history. Most importantly, you should be aware of your credit history. You are entitled to 1 free credit report from the three major credit bureaus, Experian, TransUnion and Equifax, per year. You can get a TrueCredit 3-in-1 Credit Report, which can show you any discrepancies between how the bureaus have reported your credit history as well as how each calculates your credit score.
If you have bad credit you can always look for apartment rentals or homes for rent that do not require a credit check. Smaller apartment buildings and single family houses for rent usually will not require a credit check unless they are faced with a highly competitive situation.
If the apartment rental you are trying to move into does require a credit report, ask them if you can provide it for them. By avoiding a ‘hard inquiry,’ which is when someone besides yourself requests a copy of your credit report, you can also submit a letter explaining any potential problems. This way you can demonstrate that you will be able to pay your rent on time.
Most apartment landlords will be satisfied with an explanation as well as a letter of recommendation from your previous landlord. Many people have endured financial hardships and have still been able to find apartments for rent by simply demonstrating to their potential landlord that they have been reliable when it comes to rent in the past and can be counted on in the future. Providing a letter of explanation regarding credit reports as well as a letter of recommendation from previous landlords are helpful ways to prove creditworthiness.
Also, too many ‘hard inquiries’ will actually lower your credit score. Although this is not a major part of your credit report during an apartment search, they can add up, especially if too many apartment managers request a copy of your credit report as part of their screening.
So, do not fret if you credit score is below the optimal range. You will still be able to rent apartments, but you may have to take some extra time in your apartment search to prepare.

Looking for a cheap apartment willing to rent with bad renting history. Trying to get my kids out of fostercare. would be great if I could get my family back together.
Enjoying a quiet morning so far. Dog had issues overnight so the carpet cleaner had a workout. Other than that, should be decent. Nice out.
I can understand what one person here said about the land lord or apartment manager not taking care of repairs when needed. I know of a case where the apt. manager just don’t care about the over all condition of the apts. that she manages. the only thing that matters to her is the fact that there is a body in each of her units. there was a time, when one family moved out a an apt. the apt. manager would have a through deep cleaning and sanitizing done to that unit before the next tennant moved in. this use to be a health dept. requirement and, I wonder why it is not still being done today. and as for the bad credit part, I think this is just a way to keep out certain people and by doing it this way, if one is turned down, they can’t say its because its race related. this is not fair, and the way I see it, if a person is not paying their rent on time, just evict them. IMO, there is no need to do a credit check.

I was happy to read this article but I think it’s a bit too sunny and optimistic. What if your bad credit includes an eviction (as mine does)? No landlord in Chicago is going to rent to someone who has that on their record and they ALL ask for credit checks.
Some landlords are not looking for renter’s bad credit. I guess Google can help you with this.

Hi, I am newly single and went thru a bad breakup. She had a order of protection against me so I had to leave the apartment for 5 months. She used my daughter to get it. I was found innocent of evry charge but My credit was ruined because when I was gone she never paid a dime on anything. I am 26,great job but when I was 17 made a bad choice and a felony was put on my record for something very stupid not harmful against anybody. I let her keep the order of protection in order so I can have visitation rights which she tried to take away but failed. I just need a apartment. I finally got my life in order,have a great paying job,have a degree but this damn felony follows me. Any apartment suggestions in the oswego il area?

I feel that I am being discriminated by the President of the HOA of my future landlord. He is delaying our move to our new rental home because of our bad credit. We have disclosed all our information to our future landlord. We have a great rental track history, great reference and have already signed the contract and have given the money to our landlord. We are just waiting for our interview with the HOA.
Today was suppose to be the interview, we even got there 15 minutes early because we are so looking forward to be moving to our new home. Only to find out that the interview has been cancelled and the reason was that the president of the HOA wants to delay our move/approval because of our bad credit. No one even called us. He’s had our paperwork for about a week and half now.
My husband and I and our 2 kids are already packed and need to move out of out current home by tom because our current landlord is moving back in.
Any advice?
First off, you have our sympathy. In this economic climate, lots of folks have less-than-perfect credit scores, and many are suffering the consequences. It also sounds like the house you planned on having would be perfect, and we are very sorry to hear you are having troubles with the HOA president. We would advise you to prepare for the best AND the worst case scenarios as you need a roof over your head!
In terms of the current apartment:
1. Can you find a co-signer with better credit? Often this helps
2. Can you offer to put down a bit more deposit?
3. Can you get more recommendations from all your past landlords?
4. If you really feel you are being unfairly discriminated against, you could consider taking legal action.
As a back up:
Can you find another place that would be a suitable (and maybe temporary) option? Many places are open to tenants with poor credit.
We really do wish you the best of luck – let us know how it goes.

Hello i am a wife and mother looking for a 2 bedroom home or apartment west indy, bad credit, steady income, special needs son and disabled husband.
Edited! Greetings! Over 40 working couple, married 17 years and earning 110K+ consolidated, looking for a 1 to 2 BR apartment in Brooklyn or Queens, NY! Currently, we reside in a Clinton Hills brownstone, paying 1375/mo and have done so faithfully for 7 years; the place is going condo. We have all MO stubs and receipts of rent payment signed by landlord as proof of consistency. I made a couple of poor choices that brought my credit score down to low 600, but I’ve been at my job almost 17 years. We can pay up to 1600/mo very comfortably and up to 2000/mo if needed and still cover 50x the rent and have money saved. We just need a chance. Please contact me by email cbinns65@gmail.com. Thank you!
We went to this company called We Rent For You Leasing Solutions, and they helped me and my wife out. If it wasnt for them, we would been living in a tent. We lived in extended stay hotel for 6 months and no one would lease to us. Its getting very hard out there and its terrible how families have to suffer with this stupid credit thing. We have the funds to lease, me and my wife combined make $7,000 a month. We would of taken anything even a studio just have to have a roof over our heads. Our kids have been going to different schools because we kept moving from motel to motel because of drugs and crime. These extended stays are very expensive, especially the nicer ones, can run you almost $4,000 a month, half of rent payments. If any of you need to a place to live visit http://www.werentforyou dot org this is a co-signing company, and a humantarian business, housing families in this recession market.

Great post. Probably my favorite blog post of 2012 so far. I shared this on google + too!
Hi my name is vanessa and I need to find an apartment as soon as possible, I work, but only bring home 350 every week….
Tips for those with bad credit needing to “rent” an apartment. SAVE EVERY PENNY YOU CAN & DO NOT MOVE OUT OF YOUR PRESENT “DUMP,” YET! When I say “save” I mean “save.” Cut all of your expenses to the bone…EVERYTHING, even if it means being a hermit for the next year or so. In today’s economy, you can “buy” a condo for under 25K. Go look up condos for sale at trulia.com, or other real estate websites. (If you can save for a car, you can save for an apartment!) Find the cheapest and nicest place you can afford to buy, in the nicest neighborhood that you can “mentally” afford to live in. When you save your money, you buy your apartment for cash! Then, the only monthly payment you will need will be your HOA fees. Some could be as high as $250-300 or more each month. BUT, your apartment will be paid for, for the rest of your life! If you own, anything, you will also have to pay property taxes. Mine are $150 per year (Yes, less than $200 per year!) With no real rent payment, you save your money while looking for your next place to live. When you find it, you use your present apt. and cash to move up, and you continue to do so, until you either find what you really like, or find the place where you intend to spend the rest of your life at. So, what to do if the bank won’t give you credit, even with your apt. used as partial collateral? You keep saving until you can afford to pay cash (or your credit has improved) and you move into your new place. What to do with your old place that you don’t need anymore? YOU SELL IT! Because you own it outright, you can be the “bank” and hold the paper on it, and you will have a monthly income from it, for as long as you hold the note on it (always ask for a 20% down, so if people move in and out, you’ll “always” have monthly income from it. DON’T RENT IT! At a small monthly payment, the people you sell to will keep it nice and won’t “normally” screw you while living there; and, if they have a financial problem, you can give them a break for a month or two, because, hopefully, you will be in a financial situation where it is nice to get the money each month, but you won’t get burned if it doesn’t come in on time. Also, when you get to a point where you don’t want to “play games” anymore with people who don’t follow through (you better check them out really good before you sell to them and hold the paper) then, you just put it up for sale, CASH ONLY!
Now, for those who aren’t interested in this, you find an apartment to live in (with your bad credit) and offer to pay for the whole lease, in advance, before you move-in. In other words, if you are looking for a $1K per month rental, and they want you to sign a six month lease, but won’t for you because of your credit, you offer to pay them the $6,000 (1K per month for 6 months) and all other fees, at the time you sign the 6 month lease. Then, after you move-in, YOU SAVE EVERY PENNY YOU CAN, so you can do the same thing, again, should your current landlord not want to give you a month-to-month after the lease ends, or, they want you to sign another lease, and you will pay that in advance, too; and/or, you just decide to move on out and up, again!
Best of luck folks. It’s now 2012 and I don’t see anything , financially, getting better for any of us, any time in the near future. Money talks and BS walks. You better start taking care of business; AND, IF YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER IS PUTTING THE SCREW TO YOU, FINANCIALLY, THEN, GET RID OF THEM, TOO! YOU need a roof over your head; and, if your significant other doesn’t support (emotionally) you for what you want for the both of you, then go it alone.
Everything I say here, I have done myself, and I am sure glad I did so, and more than willing to share this story with anybody!
Best of luck, and have a great NEW-YEAR!

My husband along with our five kids are on the verge of being homeless. We moved from a bad neighborhood for the sake of our children and to save money. We moved in two a 2 bdrm. house belonging to relatives. That makes 9 in a 2 bdrm. Only supposing to last for three months.. it’s become too crowded and obvious that this will not work. My husband is a landscaper and I myself a published writer. We gross a liitle over 2,ooo a month and with bad credit, we’re having trouble finding a place. We’ve never brought anything using credit. Therefore, we have low credit scores. We’ve used craigslist and people responded everytime with a scam to get us to send money to Africa and sometimes Nigeria. Pretty cruel to try to ake from a family who really need a place to live or be homeless. If anyone has any information, advice, or rentals available please email me @ http://www.avis.garland@yahoo.com

I’m in desperate need of rental in Riverside that will accept me with bad credit. I also don’t have a current history. But I owned my own house and never paid late. HELP!
My wife and I are in Chpater 7. This will affect find a n apartment?
Hi Sidney — it’s always up to the landlord to decide his/her own renting requirements, but many landlords do look at prospective tenants’ credit ratings. So if you’ve filed for Chapter 7 and your credit is affected as a result, that may become an issue when you’re looking for an apartment (but again, this always depends on the landlord and what they require from prospective tenants). If you do find yourself in that situation, hopefully our blog article will be helpful! We’d be happy to answer any other questions in a future blog article too!

I am looking for a place for myself and my 2 kids. I am a separated (pending divorce) father of 10 yr and 12 yr old boys. Living in an extended stay hotel right now that’s costing me $1200 a month which is very high. Since my wife separated from me, I was responsible for 2 leases, and a new car and she had no job at the time. Needless to say it went downhill fast and now I have bad credit, and evictions on my record. I am thinking it’s going to be nearly impossible to get someone to rent to me, but thought I’d give this a shot. Looking to rent for around $600 at max in the Holly Springs/Apex NC area. Thank you.

To the person who wrote the long long advice about saveing up all that money to buy a condo. Well that is good advice, but honey not everybody can do that with bad or good credit. Some of us are in situation where we can not do that. And then you said offer a landlord the whole year rent. REALLY! sweetey. Again good advice, but not everybody can do that. And if they in a place. And they decide to get a car. Well if they got a place. Iam sure they now want a way to work. I know I was one of those who use to walk to work everyday.

Great work! This is the type of information that should be shared around the net. Shame on Google for no longer positioning this submit upper! Come on over and seek advice from my web site . Thanks =)
Valuable info. Lucky me I discovered your web
site unintentionally, and I am stunned why this twist of fate
did not came about in advance! I bookmarked it.
I think what you posted was actually very logical.
However, think on this, suppose you added a little content?

Blog is kinda plain. You could peek at Yahoo’s home page and watch how they create article titles to grab people to open the links. You might add a related video or a picture or two to grab people interested about everything’ve
written. Just my opinion, it could bring your blog a little
bit more interesting.
I do trust all the ideas you’ve presented for your post. They’re
really convincing and can definitely work. Nonetheless, the posts are very brief
for starters. Could you please prolong them a bit from next time?
Thank you for the post.
Actually when someone doesn’t understand then its up to other viewers that they will help, so here it takes place.
Hi there, I enjoy reading through your post. I wanted to write a
little comment to support you.
Wow! This blog looks exactly like my old one!
It’s on a totally different subject but it has pretty much the same page layout and design. Wonderful choice of colors!

SEO is constantly evolving. I agree that it is difficult for any individual provider to stay on top of it all, but it isn’t impossible as long as SEO is all they are offering. It’s quite difficult to stay atop the constant flood of information if you are a copywriter, marketer, or ad person.
Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a
few of the pictures aren’t loading properly. I’m not sure why
but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different web browsers and both show the same outcome.
