Im 8 months pregnant and im so bored!! Can't get an apartment even with enough money and good credit...

Question

Im 8 months pregnant. And i don't work and I am so bored I just want this baby to come so i have something to do with my time. I live in a house with my boyfriend, and we have to move out soon because he cannot afford the mortgage. So we have to get an apartment so i can't even work on making a nursery. I feel like im in limbo, and im so bored sitting on the couch all day. We also looked for some apartments but they don't approve me. I have good credit 696 score. but they say i don't have enough of it. My boyfriend has no credit, and has a previous eviction on his record, so they would deny him. I am scared that we cannot get a place. They asked for a co-signer, and my mom said that she would co-sign, but yet that wasnt enough for these people, they asked how i would pay for the rent. My boyfriend would pay, but he has bad credit. Im so scared we wont get a place and it just seems impossible. Rent would be 895 a month, and we would be making atleast 1800 a month and they said that wasnt enough. Its just stupid. What. do i do.

Answer 1

See if you can live with Mom

Answer 2

Unfortunately a lot of apartment complexes require a total household income of at least 3 times the amount of rent. So if rent is $895 a month you and your boyfriend would need to bring in around 2685 a month.

Answer 3

Hi hunnie, I am going through the same thing as you.

Me and my boyfriend got a 3 day eviction notice, and we have to move out by tomorrow.  But luckily we get to live at his moms for free.

WHICH SUCKS, because now I have to clean her house and cater to her, UGH!  But I guess thats better then being homeless.

I am also pregnant, but only 4 weeks.

I dont have a job either, and my boyfriend got laid off and just got his job back, so we are starting to get on our feet again, I am really excited to live in a place that we dont have to pay for.

Good luck with everything,
