Credit score for apt renting??Urgent!

Question

Am planning on renting an apt in the next 3 months.

I am already in a lease,am a co-renter.I live with a parent but both our names are in the apt lease of our current apartment.

I have 2 jobs and make good income,enough for everything including 1and 3/4 my current apartment rent.

My credit history is kinda like 2 yrs long,but my credit is in the lower sides,cant say am proud of it.

So if i applied for an apt..will the apt manager look into credit,rent history,income...or do they just look at the rent history and income??

Am really curious since my current lease ends in 3 months.

Thanks in advance!!

Answer 1

They will look at credit, rental and sometimes even background.  I am sure that you will be fine.  You have a good rental and work history.  My credit was not good when I rental my town home so I had to put down double deposit which I got back the 1st one after paying rent on time for 6 months.  Good luck.

Answer 2

I'm a landlord.  I look at the "total package" when i interview a tenant.  I want honest and honorable tenants who won't damage my rental.  Tell everything about yourself.  I think you won't have any trouble. /

Answer 3

we just went thru this!!! we had never rented before, i mean we did rent, but from my fiances grandmother, who owns apts... but we had to move out of state for his job, and the apt we are staying at now, looked at our income, which was fine, and did the b-g checks which were fine but the credit, due to mistakes my fiance made when he was younger, w/ truck notes and credit cards, the credit score was low, so we had to make an extra rent payments, which was first and last months rent... they'll accept you no matter what, if you have a good b-g check like no fellon or s*x offender lol... you'll just have to pay the extra fees.. so start saving your money!!!! =0
