Visit Urban Housing Solutions on the web. They place felons into apartments, and some are even based on your income.

People renting out less desirable homes usually don't ask so many questions of prospective tennants, so you'll probably need to start off somewhere crappy. Once you've got a good reference from a previous landlord it will be somewhat easier for you to rent a nicer property.
Depending on what the felony was, it may also get easier the longer ago it was, provided you keep a clean record in the mean time.
AnswerThere are plenty of places where you can rent from someone who doesn't do a detalied background search. Most of the time, the landlord is only interested in your credit history and ability to pay rent and not your criminal history. If you have done your time and/or completed probation or parole, some states allow you to petition to have the conviction expunged or reduced to a misdemeanor if sufficient time has passed. find WHATIn Colorado it's nearly impossible to find any kind of housing for felons.
Your best way to find an apartment in Colorado, especially Colorado Springs, is to use an Apartment Locator service, like Apartments Etc. in Colorado Springs. You talk with a 'case manager' and tell them your situation. BE HONEST! They have a list of apartment complexes in your city and they will be able to help you get set up with an apartment that accepts felons. It takes time and energy, but most importantly it takes honesty. If you lie they can not only evict you they can sue you in court. Find an apartment placement service in your city and be honest with them.
Most commercial apartment complexes can and do actively discriminate against the previously convicted. So, your best bet is to find a private party who rents small, motel type rooms, or homes.
Okay, I hope I can answer this question in general for all of the questions on answers.com regarding felons renting apartments.
Unfortunately having a felony record is an attribute that can be discriminated against by landlords. As a general rule most conventional apartment complexes and apartment complexes that are given tax credit will bar most felons from renting any of their units. Most exceptions to this rule are felonies that are older than five to seven years old and are non-violent in nature.
So if you can exclude these types of apartments from your search list, many individual landlords will rent out to felons. If you have a probation or parole officer, that person is the most valuable resource you can turn to for this type of situation. You may be able to go to the public defender's office of the county in which you reside and they may be able to help you

A convicted felon should not run an apartment complex. They should work jobs where they are not in control of a lot of people, especially when others safety is involved.
Likely as not from a private landlord. Apartment complexes are nefariously discriminatory against the formerly convicted.
