Want to Rent apartment but has almost 1600 in collections?

Question

19 year old female in wheelchair looking for apartment to rent!! Have items on credit report that equal to about 1500 due to charges from TMobile and Qwest. Mostly all of my items that are in collections are due to not getting social security check every month!! I am looking to get an apartment by september, but worried would get denied to collections. I do work full time now

Answer 1

Most landlords reject any applicant with collections - unpaid collections are even worse.

Pay off the collections and have a double deposit & co-signer on hand.
