What To Know

Below is a brief overview about 2nd chance rental requirements and policies.

Look-Back Periods

2nd chance properties accept issues based on 'look-back' periods (dates). This is the timeframe in which they evaluate your previous background for how old issues are such as evictions, rental debt, criminal records, or broken leases, etc.​ This period focuses on recent years to determine your current risk level which can be a minimum of 12 months old and longer.

Case-By-Case Approval

2nd-chance-apts-screening

There are apartments on the list that are case-by-case which we prefer! When a property says this," it means they are not using tenant screening "auto-denial" algorithms. A human reviews your application to weigh your current stability against your rental history.

  • The "Why" Behind the Record: They are often willing to hear about your situation and then access your overall circumstances and look at where you are now.
     

  • The Honesty Policy: At these communities, being upfront is vital. If you disclose the issue before they find it on tenant screening reports, they are much more likely to work with you under their case-by-case policy.

Pro-Tip About Rental Requirements

Sometimes 2nd chance properties will be more flexible with their preset requirements, and override 'look-back' periods at various times depending on things like vacancy rates, the rental market or your specific situation, etc.

It's common practice for leasing agents at these types of communities to run ads regarding relaxing their requirements. So, when you get the list, it's BEST to also call the communities that match closely with your situation.
