You probably can't pay your rent with a credit card unless he has a deal with your credit card company, as a businessman. Then he would have to take a discount. Ask him if he has an account and will accept it. Or get a cash advance and use the cash.\n\nYes, you can pay with one of those checks that the credit card company looks at as a cash advance. Do you really want to start that and pay the high interest rates that are on those checks for your rent payment? \n\nMaybe a cheaper rental is in order for you, it sounds like you're in trouble here if you have to use a credit card. They are deadly and will bite you in the end (literally!)

Try community banks. Any other type of financial institution would be willing to work with you esp. with the individual guarantees. Sounds like you should have no problem so long as the cash flow from rental income is sound.

There is not law on how long it can take a person to cash another person's check. BUT, some checks have printed on them "Void after 120 days" ect. Also, some Banks will not "honor" them after 90 days. Anyone who accepts a Personal Check should accept a Cashiers Check. Unless your lease specifically says "NO Cashiers Checks" then you can use one to pay. I alway prefer when my residents pay with Money Order (You should use this method.)  Good Luck!

If you have a good rental history with your landlord he may be willing to cut you some slack.  \n\nTell your landlord the truth and make arrangements to pay in installments every week.

It is quite possible but by doing so you have all the onus of maintenance, references, rent collection, legal problems etc all on your shoulders. You really need to have a good contract drawn up by a solicitor (shorthold/assured/ etc)... references can be obtained from credit reference agencies at a cost... but this takes time as does advertising .... Independent inventories... independent adjudication in the event of problems.. and often if a tenant says they can't afford whatever... you as an individual feel more sorry for them than a letting agency....

Talk to the CAB about the tenant rights. They will be able to give you the specifics, and they're free!

See if your bank or one of your major credit cards will give it to you.\n\nWashington Mutual has this as a benefit for their credit card holders.

If it is anything like the program in MS, then there are companies that give you credit (a certain % of your rent) towards the future purchase of a house.  I know that down here you have to pay some fees to do this.

Look for a credit card that's secured with a deposit. Don't carry a balance on it. As soon as you can, try to get an unsecured card.\n\nMake sure you make any payments; try to not keep a balance.

Keep applying for apartments from local landlords, not big apt complexes.  Hopefully u will eventually find a rookie landlord who doesnt check credit :)\n\nGood luck!

Savvy landlords should ask all prospective tenants to fill out a written rental application that includes the following information:\nEmployment, income, and credit history \nSocial Security and driver's license numbers \npast evictions or bankruptcies, and \nreferences. \nBefore choosing tenants, landlords should check with previous landlords and other references; verify income, employment, and bank account information; and obtain a credit report. The credit report is especially important because it will indicate whether a particular person has a history of paying rent or bills late, has gone through bankruptcy, has been convicted of a crime, or has ever been evicted.

If you have the money, you may be able to find a place to requires a substantial security deposit that will fit into your scheme of things or if you have the ability to make a payroll allotment (which ensures the renter you will pay on time) this may be an option.  Good luck, shop around and do not give up.

Check with your local Housing Authority.  Laws vary from state to state and even city to city.  Most places do not allow a landlord to enter a residence at will, but this is something you need to verify in your own locality.

You could of course not have a bank account or cash a check.\n\nYou could not work legally, so you would have to do day labor or work for lower wages for some busniess who pays you in cash, or will cash your check for you.\n\nFor rent, most likely you won't earn enough to afford to rent, but if you did, normally the run down type of houses you could rent would be the ones where you pay cash adn they don't care about ID.

you'll need personal credit and a business plan

Yes.  Landlord associations within your city have every document you need.  Look for Landlord/Tenant under the government pages and if unable to locate there, call your local chamber of commerce and ask and they'll start directing you....may take a few calls, good luck.

no they cant ask for additional deposits if you have a lease sounds to me like someone is scamming you ,call the head office and ask for owner or the person under him let him no what the manager is doing ,you can also go to the library and get a book called The Landlord and Tenant Book it has a lot of interesting things in it
