Best Answer

Your best bet would be to use a co-signer, who would vouch for you and be held financially responsible should you be unable to make payments. Finding someone willing to do that can be difficult. It should be someone who is financially stable with good credit history.

*** ADDENDUM ***

I would be happy to rent to someone with felonies - or more correctly, that by itself would not disqualify you - I'm still going to look at who the person is who wants to rent, looking for good renters like I suppose every landlord does. But I am pissed that society never ever forgives, never forgets. All I have is one house in the Lewisville area, 4 bedrooms with pool. $1300/month. Surely I am not alone?

Find a private renter, not a corporate owned building, or go to an apartment finder. They know which places will allow you to live there.

What is the minimum credit score apartment owners look at before they will accept tenants?

Normally speaking, apartment complexes and owners are not looking at a credit score as a basis for their decision to rent you an apartment. Of course this might be a factor with luxury apartments. But what landlords are looking for our history of evictions and nonpayment of utility bills. If the issue with your credit is simply with credit cards, medical bills, or even furniture bills, this usually does not affect the decision of the landlord. This is especially true with landlords who rent apartments to low income tenants. Also if your credit issue is more than two years old this is often overlooked by the landlord. Most apartment complexes will do credit checks -- that's a fact of life. But if everyone with bad credit was denied an apartment this could be considered discrimination. Other factors involved include criminal records: apartment owners do not want recently convicted felons are convicted sex offenders in their units.

How do i rent an apartment with bad rental history?

You can rent an apartment with bad rental history by going to your town or county and asking for a list of apartments and houses that rent to low income people. These people typically don't have good rental history but the managers and owners will work with them.

If a couple is trying to rent an apartment and one has bad credit but the other has good credit do we need a co-signer?

The need for the co-signer will depend on the management. However, it would be best, given the bad credit history of the one person, to make sure that the one with good credit can solely support the rent payment. That is because bad credit history reflects a poor payment history.
