Does anyone know what type of credit score is needed to rent an appartment?

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.

First you have to find an appartment complex or private owner of an house, townhouse, duplex or apartment that will rent it someone with a voucher. Once this is decieded then you will need to fill out an application, and let your Housing adviser know that you have found a place. You will then fill out paperwork with your advisor about the place. This will go back and forth for a while. The place you have found will then be inspected by an inspector with the housing authority. If there is nothing wrong with the place then, your advisor will contact you as well as the landlord to figure out how much you will pay of the rent, as well as if you qualify for assistance with utilites.

What type of credit?  A credit rating?  Are you sole owner?

They're looking for records of broken lease agreements.  Many apartment managers list broken leases on your credit report. They can also see reports of bounced checks, late payments, etc.  It should show all addresses you used to obtain credit in the past few years.  If there's anything you're hiding or need to explain just be honest and hopefully they'll rent to you.

You need to sign up at a company that does tenant screening should be easy to find in the yellow pages. They will have the form and prices. Choose the one that does the credit check and the crimal check and employment and rental verification then charge the tenant what they cost. Rememeber you cannot charge the tenant more that you have to pay. It is against the law to profit on these screening fees.\n\nAlso follow the advice of the screener. They usually know what they are doing and will steer you clear of problems. If you get the deluxe package they will call their employer and previous landlords to get the skinny. By the time they are done chatting with everyone they will have a good idea. You can always back it up with your own calls and just do the credit and criminal check, but that is up to what you want to do.

You shouldn't have a problem finding a house to rent in the Atlanta area. Check out the suburbs of Roswell, Alpharetta, Sandy Springs, Woodstock, Canton, Kennesaw, etc. They are nice, diverse areas still close to the city. You will have to find an individual to rent from because most realty companies and rental companies are going to require a credit check on the spot. Just be nice and honest with the person you are renting from and make sure you have proof of income. That's usually the only thing they are really looking for, not a credit check. Save your pay stubs and that's really all you need to show them besides your ID. I rented a house in Atlanta and the only thing I showed the owner was a pretty smile! Just pick up the Atlanta Journal Constitution or go to ajc.com for the classifieds and you will find plenty! Good luck!

Most complexes run one but some don't count medical.If it's a past landlord try to make it right with them.Check your credit and see what is holding you back.You might be able to pay the first 6 mos. or so to get past it.Tell the office up front that you have bad credit and see if they offer advice.Ask if you have a co-signer if it would help.Try a private owner.Ask your current landlord for a reference letter.Call the housing commission in your area.There is usually one place that will help you out but make sure you appreciate it.  Good Luck!

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.

You have to follow the terms agreed to in your rental agreement.  Sorry there is not a better answer.

350 is the theoretical lowest, but with years in the finance business I have never seen a score below about 400.\n\nIf you have a score under 500 your not going to get any type of credit.  You'll need a 580 to get a home with no money down and a high interest rate.\n\nAt 620, you'll start to qualify for conventional home financing, possibly with no money down, depending on your area and situation.\n\nAt 680, you'll get 100% home financing pretty easily, but at 720 you'll be nearly assured of it.\n\nOver 720 in home financing is steller credit and you'll be able to get just about anything you desire.

Rent to own places usually do not report unless it is in default.  However if in need of credit try a department store card or even open an account at a furniture store.  Most financing there is easy to obtain with easy terms and the due report good and bad credit.  Lately dept. store cards IE. Sears, Wal-Mart etc. will easily give you an account if you have a major credit card IE Visa, Master Card.  I would steer clear of Rent-to-Own.  Those are more for people who have really really bad credit.  And even then they could probably restore their credit way before what ever they buy there is paid off.  Hope this helps and God bless you in making a good decision and establishing you credit.

To keep it sweet and simple.  It is going to depend on your Debt to Income (the amount of bills going out to the amount of money coming in).  This should not exceed 55%.  Take a look at your Credit.  Keep in mind that most lenders go off of a middle score and some average them, or few will give you a morgage with no scores.  620 score or above will give you 100% financing no money down depending on the amount of activity with a lower interest rate.  Pay attention to back end lender points.  Some brokers will make more money the higher the interest rate they can talk you into.  If you fall under those guidelines then give it a shot.  Also if you have filed bankruptcy make sure that you are at least two years out of it.  And last, make sure that you have 12 months cancelled checks on your previous rental and you have 2 years of work history with w-2s and 2 years of address history.  Not critical but will really help you and the broker.  Thats basically it.  Good luck.

Direct answer to your questions is, "Yes".\nHowever, lower credit rating and outstanding debt will limit you in where and what type of property this person can rent.\n\nThere are a number of factors that goes into renting a property such as;\n- type of property, \n- monthly rent,\n- expected income stream and level of tenant, \n- monthly loan payments,\n- credit rating,\n- tenant's personality,\n- number of dependents, etc.\n\nSo, just because you have a not-so-good credit rating and a loan, it may limit you in what type of place you could potentially rent, but it will not eliminate you from renting a property itself.

A lot of the time if you find a person to rent from rather then a company or apartment complex. I think that individual people that rent to people don't do as an extensive check as a complex would do. Also, if you were evicted, that means you probably owe the people $ where you were evicted from and that is going to look negatively on your rental history- so you might want to be sure to pay that off and stay with family or friends until you can do that.\n\n-EA

look in newspaper, craigslist.com and other places for apartments that aren't rented by large corporation or apt. business's.\n\naverage joe who is renting will not likely do a credit check and just your personality will seal the lease for you.\n\nalso don't mention any of your hard times from the past as words not spoken cannot harm you.
