Can you rent an apartment after filing bankruptcy?

Answer 1

It can be but I have found that if you have good rental history you should be able to rent. My husband and I filed bankruptcy about a year ago. He then left and I lost everything, now trying to start over with a recent bankruptcy is challenging. I have found no one that will rent to me and I have good rental history.There should be a law, I do not believe that credit should reflect on the rental of a house. Good luck to all that are trying. After filing bankruptcy it is very hard to obtain housing in an upscale area. Some places will not rent to you until seven years post bankruptcy. I have learned that if you maintain a good rental history and aren't deliquent on any of your accounts, then you may be able to rent a house/apartment through a lowerscale or private owner. * i would agree that it is hard but i also think that you can get help and try to get some money back

Answer 2

It's possible, but you'd almost certainly need a co-signer who would be financially responsible should you get into trouble. If you choose to go that route, choose carefully. The co-signer should be someone who is financially stable and with whom you wouldn't lose a friendship should he have to cover your debts.

Answer 3

Yes, but it depends on the managements policies. Some companies will not allow tenants which have certain blemishes on their application. Just call around and ask. Also try landlords who manage their own rentals.

Answer 4

Most the time you can rent an apartment as long as you can give them a copy of your Discharge Records.

Answer 5

no bankruptcy will actually let you get an apartment after you have filed for it
