Renting an apartment and credit score?

Question

I don't meet the minimun Credit Score for the place i want to rent but have an excellent rental history. Will they usually rent to someone that doesnt meet this qualification only?

Answer 1

Generally, if an applicant does not meet any one of the landlord's criteria they will be rejected.

Some may require a higher security deposit and/or a co-signer in order to consider your application.

Answer 2

Each Apt owner has their own criteria.

If yo do not meet the minimums, they may either charge yo a higher deposit or not rent to you at all.

Your best bet is to ask, otherwise you'll never know.
