Is there anyone on here who has had bad credit and gotten an apartment?
I’m just wondering if there is anyone on here who has gotten a good apartment in a complex even with bad credit. I’m taking a teaching job far from my home town, and I need an apartment. However, my credit score is low and I’ve never rented before. Does anyone know if I can offer a bigger deposit or anything like that if my credit doesn’t check out? Any success stories on here?
I’m not looking for a dumpy place. I’d like something in a complex.

dont bother with the first answer its a pyramid scam
on to the apartment thing. yes there are ways tol get a place. for one not all places offer a credit report. also you can always try making an offer to the complex or ask if they have any special programs. you have nothing to lose by asking.

Twice I pulled out $5000 in 100 dollar bills and got instant lets just by paying deposit and a month in advance (I know, only one problem w. that plan usually!) If you can offer 6 months in advance you can usually get around credit otherwise you need a grown up to co-sign for you!

Agencies that manage apartment complexes do run credit reports, but have your tried locating something owned by a private landlord? They’d be less likely to run a credit report.
