Can The Lists Help You?

second-2nd-chance-apartments-rentals

Because we have added 250 additional properties, and you now have 450 choices, some of our previous information about who can benefit from our lists has changed.

 

Who Won't Benefit: The following situations may not benefit from any of the lists:

  • Evictions: Any open/pending evictions.

  • Bankruptcy: Any open/pending bankruptcies.

  • Foreclosures - Recent foreclosures less than 1-2 years old.

  • Criminal Backgrounds: Open/pending criminal cases. Also, some crimes are not accepted at all. To read what felonies and misdemeanors are not accepted or require a certain amount of time to pass ('look-back' periods), Click Here.

 

Who Will Benefit: Applicants with the following approval issues can benefit:

  • Credit Issues

  • Bankruptcy

  • Evictions

  • Broken Leases -

    • Pro-Tip: Legal Protections: If it falls under legally protected reasons, it will not count against you if proof was provided to the previous landlord/manager prior to breaking your lease. (Examples: military, domestic abuse, stalking, uninhabitable conditions)​

  • Certain Criminal Backgrounds

  • Paid Rental Debt

  • Unpaid Rental Debt - Taken depending on how old it is & the amount owed.

    • ​Pro-Tip: If you have unpaid rental debt that is not related to legal protections due to a broken lease or if it was a fair debt, depending on the age of the debt (less than 5 years old), it's best to make a payment plan and pay for about 3 months (this won't restart the clock on the age of this type of debt). Properties look more favorable at this and you will have more options. Or if it's an unfair debt, dispute it if it's on your credit reports.

 Lease-Guarantors Apartment List

new icon2.webp

To enhance your success finding a new place, we’ve just added 200 more properties separate from our main list who partner with Lease-Guarantor Services to help applicants who don't meet the standard rental or income requirements get approved.

 

Trending: An increasing number of apartment communities are now partnering with Lease-Guarantor Services to launch new "second chance" opportunities or to restructure existing in-house programs which allows them to mitigate their risk while expanding rental opportunities.

Eviction  & 2nd Chance Leads  List

new icon2.webp

About The List: This list was being created to provide more apartment options for applicants with evictions on their rental history.

​

Instead of having renters who need a place right away waiting for us to verify the leads, we decided to provide the list so customers can simply call themselves and ask the same questions we normally do. (Note: We have verified some of the apartments on the list)

​​

Data Sources: We have compiled this data through a combination of information provided by nonprofit organizations, independent online research, and direct outreach from leasing agents notifying us of their requirements or current specials relating to their rental qualifications.

​

Information On The List: 

  • Evictions: There are 51 apartments on the list and 39 are related to evictions.

  • Other Approval Challenges: Apartments that accept evictions typically work with other approval situations too.

  • Lease-Guarantor Services: Some properties on the list also partner with lease-guarantor services. (Note: These listings differ from our free, separate "Bonus Guarantors List.")
