Chances of getting and apt with a couple both on the lease one with good credit and one with bad.?

My boyfriend and I recently applied for an apartment together. He had decent credit, but I had none at all. We were still approved for the apartment. It not only depends on your credit, but your income as well. A lot of places have a minimal annual income to ensure you'll make enough to pay rent. If your bad credit prevents you from getting into an apartment, have just her name on the lease, or have someone with good credit co-sign for you.

Look for adds for roommates.  Someone else getting the lease will help with the credit problem.  Ask among your friends first.

You are actually better off than people who just break a lease and run.  Because you included the debt owed to the previous landlord as a part of your discharged debt from your bankruptcy, it should not be held against you for future rentals.  Most all landlords will run your credit when you apply for an apartment and a  recent bankruptcy isn't going to look good, but it might be a little better than an unresolved judgment against a deadbeat tenant.  As a safeguard a landlord might require a larger deposit considering the risk of your recent behavior, or you could suggest it to change a "I won't rent to you" into a "when do you want to move in".  Don't harp on the "emergencies" that you endured, but rather how much more financially stable you are today than ever before.

The best way to find this out is to get yellow pages and e-mail some large apt. complexes and some very big real estate companies that hire managers.  We managed apts for 25 years, good luck.

Are you both moving there without any job offer?  If so, they would probably rent to you with a larger security deposit.  The best thing to do is call around and ask their requirements.  If they hesitate, then tell them you could pay for the first 6 months upfront.

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.

Yes I would say you have a very good chance.  BUT listen....if you want the best deal, the lower interest (and trust me, you DO) start working to correct any mistakes on your credit NOW. Order your reports and pay every thing on time.  This is the best gift you can give yourself.  It will pay off for a long time to come.  I recommend www.myfico.com (the Suze Orman package)She will teach you everything you need to know.

To avoid any charges appearing on your credit be safe give them a 30 day notice, clean up let them inspect for damages so they wont charge u, and you wont have any thing to worry about because you have covered yourself. Remeber to keep a copy of you r 30 day notice and you can also have them sign a copy for you, one of the leasing managers. But if credit is not really a concern then screw 'em and just move, but you sound like you are concern so just take the extra pre cautions.

It isn't really a score that is looked at when getting an apartment - it is more looking at if you pay your bills on time.  When I was  a property manager I dind't care what someone's score was.  I cared that they paid their bills on time, and that they didn't have any charge offs.

That isn't going to be easy.  Most places do a credit check.  There are ways with good credit to buy with no money down.  An individual might sell you real estate that way, but it isn't a wise way to do business.

Put in refinance mortgage bad credit and see what you get.\n\n\nLC

Possibly only one of you could get the loan, although both would sign the mortgage.  My wife had no credit history when we bought, so I took the loan and both of us took the mortgage.\n\nIn some states and under some circumstances, the bank might demand both of you to qualify.

Better off to try renting a room from someone.\n\nApartment managers want references.

There is no way  around the bad credit.   Sounds like you will have to establish  the credit again.   Good luck though.

Try another apt community, this should not stop you from housing. sometimes having at least the full amount of 1 month rent and deposit available you should not have problems

As one attorney always told where is the foal? If this has hurt your credit, or damaged you from consideration for the new rental unit, you may have a case and my suggestion is to contact a an attorney who knows real estate law.\n\nGood luck

No and I've gone through this before.  We went from apartment to apartment and because of our credit they would not rent to us. It's insane!!!  People with bad credit need a roof over their head too.  The rich just want all the non-rich to be homeless I think. It sucks.  We did get into a low income housing complex but because of our credit, out deposit alone was $800.00.  It's a nice place actually and I love living where I am but still.  It was hard getting in too.
