It depends how old the eviction is... most "negative" info on a credit report expires after a few years, but you can also petition the credit reporting agencies to delete these items, or include your good faith explanation.  There are several web sites devoted to tenant rights and there is always Nolo Press for affordable and reliable legal resources.

When you first contact them let them know you have the bankruptcy and ask them if it will be a problem.  If they tell you they don't usually rent to people with bankruptcy move on.\nAlso you may have establish a history with a large complex or rental company and work your way up the list.

There is probably a local landlord's association you can join that will offer access to the ability to pull credit reports.  I know that here in Central Texas, they also have a bureau that lists evictions and lease skips.  (evictions are public record and should show up on a court record and credit report but a lease skip might not).\n\nThere are also companies you can pay to do the background checks.  It is fair and common for you to pass the cost of that check onto the prospective clients.\n\nIncome verification is pretty important.  And yes, your belief that rent shouldn't exceed a percentage of their net take home pay (usually about a third of take home or a quarter of gross) is a good idea.  You can ask to see bank statements and/or pay stubs.  Self-employed applicants can show tax returns or bank statements.\n\nOne other trick I used, that I got from one of my landlords when I was a tenant.   He asked for permission to come see where I was currently living (we had dogs).   We said "sure."   I didn't expect him to pop in by surprise and was embarrased and worried because there were dishes in the sink, but.....\n\nHe said all he was looking for were issues that would upset a landlord and that routine mess was not his problem.  He looked to see the house was in good shape and not being abused, and that the dogs had not destroyed the backyard.\n\nI thought this was an awesome deal and used it on my own properties.   \n\nSome people can appear really nice and clean but are brutal on their residences and some problems are very expensive to fix.\n\nCheck out their current home and that will be an eye opener.\n\nSomeone with really bad credit may be a bigger risk but keep in mind that if someone has a family, it is possible that the ONLY bill getting paid is the rent.   You can check with their current landlord in 2 ways -\n\n1. Ask to see the cancelled checks for the past 6 months.\n2. Look up the property owner (all public records accessible for free) and contact them to see how the rent was paid.\n\nIt is easy for a tenant to have a friend pretend to be a landlord so one of the above is more reliable.\n\nAnd a tenant who is having a rough time, but passes the "paid rent regularly" and "isn't living like a pig" tests may be forever grateful to a landlord that cut them a break if their credit otherwise sucks.   That person may well be a good long term tenant.

Call your landlord and creditors immediately and explain your problem.  You may have to pay late fees, but usually they will hold off on collecting as long as they know you're willing to pay.  Good luck!

If they haven't paid rent, you can issue a 3-day eviction notice.  Contact the sheriff in the city where the house is; they'll be the ones doing the eviction.

That depends on the situation.  Did you move out and leave your stuff for a week or 6 months?  Were you paying rent?  Did they come in a take something of yours to make you pay rent??????

One idea is to pay some of the rent in advance to reduce the risk to the landlord. If you pay rent in advance, you're less likely to skip out, which is what the landlord is concerned about.\n\nAnother idea is to have a previous landlord write you a letter of recommendation if you had a good experience with the previous landlord.\n\nFor your credit report, you're entitled to add a 25 word explanation that stays with the credit report. The explanation outlines the reasons for your credit problems, and any prospective landlord can read the reason for the problems. If you don't have time to do that, write your own letter of explanation to give to the landlords. With a good explanation, and a plan of how you can pay the rent, the landlord may consider it.\n\nGood luck.

try contacting one of the three major credit bureaus, call a mortage company for the numbers.

Your friend would be able to co-sign the apartment so that you are able to move in, but if you are late on your payments and become evicted the remaining balance would be placed on both you and your friends credit reports.

Evictions DO NOT show on credit bureaus. If they were trying to get you to pay for time stayed that they felt you owed, then they could sue you for it and THAT may show on your bureau. It would show as a collection under the collection company's name but it would not explain why on the bureau. Even if you were a true deadbeat(which it doesn't sound as if you are ) it still would take a long take to make you vacate. Ride out your month then go...BUT...Do a physical walkthrough with them so they can't hit you with some bill later for something you didn't do. TAKE A FRIEND ALONG AS A WITNESS or take pictures. Good luck.

Two quick suggestions. First you should look for another job. It won't really matter if you own or rent; you will either loose your home and have bad credit or have an eviction on your record. As far as buying a home is concerned I would not unless I had 6-12 months emergency funds for mortgage, taxes, insurance, utilities, food, gas etc and you had another job lined up.

If your name was on the lease, and the lease was terminated by eviction, then you were evicted.  It will reflect negatively in your credit report and/or background check.  It won't make it impossible for you to find an apartment, but certainly more difficult.  The more strikes you have against you, the fewer potential landlords will want to take a chance on you; you'd be considered a bad risk.  And even the potential landlords that will give you a chance will probably want a larger security deposit from you and possibly a co-signer.\n\nNow, this is just my understanding based upon my experiences watching personal friends deal with evictions and trying to rent with bad credit.  If you want to be doubly sure, you should talk to a lawyer and/or a real estate agent.

Credit is nothing more than an agreement, a promise.  If you failed to pay in the past, and you want to get someone to loan to you again, you have to repay what you borrowed.  If you are going to instead see how little you can pay to eliminate your past debt, your new lender has got to think that you will treat him the same way.\n\nPay your debt...or suffer the consequences.  As you said, you made some bad previous choices.  Either own up to them (and pay) or work through the various options of being a renter until your bankruptcy is discharged, etc.\n\nIt's hard to get a new lender to believe you are credit-worthy (aka, "trustworthy") if your primary goal is to *NOT* pay your debt in full.

Assuming your evicting the non-paying tenants through the court system! When you have finished the eviction process, there is a default judgement recorded in your county. The credit reporting agencies obtain this information, at least once a week, and thus it appears on their credit report, as an unlawful detainer action. If you ever see this on a prospective tenants report....don't even consider renting to this person, as he did not value himself enough, and took the risk of subjecting his credit report so negatively....It also shows that this person coct the landlord allot of hassels, and costs of legally evicting this person through the court system....and to make matters worse they probably damaged and left your property a mess on their way out.

Yes actually you can. My roommate and I got an apartment with NO credit. You simply have to make the security deposit, plus first and last month's rent in most places. Talk to the manager and be upfront about it. You can also use a co-signer...Someone who trusts you and will let you use their credit.

You will be unable to get any form of credit (loans, credit cards etc) for many years.\n\nYou may have trouble finding houses to rent.\n\nSome service providers may not want to deal with you.
