If you have an eviction on your record can you still get a lease if you have a co-signer?

Probably yes. It's really up to the apartmant management who they approve as renters. Some will want your co-signer with good credit to be the legal tenant, with you on the lease as another occupant. Then if you don't pay the rent, the co-signer is responsible. They also may be more flexible if you put up a larger deposit, an additional 1-2 months rent. Sometimes smaller apartment complexes or those owned by an individual will have less stringent guidelines.

∙ 11y agoThis varies a great deal. I would suggest asking a prospective landlord what their policies are on this. Some landlords will accept an individual with an eviction on their record with a qualified co-signer. The one thing you need to be aware of is the age of the eviction for non-payment. If it was very recent; you may still have a hard time renting (even with a co-signer). Another suggestion is to talk with the individual that evicted you and make arrangements to pay what you owe and make sure you follow those arrangements. Some people can be difficult to reason with when it comes to matters of money. I am a property manager and have been in this business since 1971. My policies are that if you owe another landlord you have to pay off the debt or make arrangements to pay off the debt and bring it to me in writing. I also look at the age of the eviction (ie:10 years ago). If an eviction occurred with in the last 3 years or sooner; I do some thorough investigating. A lot of the time I discover that the propective tenant was young and made some bad decisions. Usually I can get those people to do what they have to do. The one thing you should never do is lie about it. If you do, it will only come back to bite you and bite you hard. If the eviction is older than 3 years and another has not appeared since then; more than likely there was a landlord/tenant dispute. That happens quite bit. In Kansas; a tenant can not refuse to pay rent for any reason. Just ask the prospective landlord and I wish you all the luck in the world.
I am a spanish parent whith two childs who is going to school.
I am unemployed. I don`t have unemployment benefit and my wife has no job.
I can't pay my monthly mortgage payments which amount to up to EUR 480, therefore
we are at risk of eviction.
In addition I have a chronic depression, therefore I won't be able to work in the
future. I would be grateful if you help me to move forward. Thank you.

∙ 17y agoYou would need a co signer that would be liable for any fees or rent that you don't pay, but each apartment owner/manager is different and some may give you a chance, also the more time that has passed since your eviction the easier it becomes (years)

∙ 11y agoThis depends on the landlord. Different landlords have different policies, so check with a prospective landlord on his or her policy regarding past evictions.
If you have repeatedly been evicted and have run through friends that you can rent with, then you may need to try to rent through a private individual. Otherwise, the first place to check is your credit report. Also, check with the court for the county in which you have rented. The local real estate association may keep records that are accessed by rental managers. The best thing to do is to answer the application honestly, provide an explanation and say that it will not happen again. If you have a good credit rating that can make all the difference. While apartment managers depend on the real estate records, your credit report and job verification will be the determining factor. NOTE: No one can clean up your record for you, so save your money. The best they can do is to send a letter, which may temporarily remove the listing. If the record is correct then it will be re-listed.
NOW. In the real world...
As soon as the landlord or property management company sees TENANT*LANDLORD ISSUES on your background check, you will be denied. Ask yourself, why would I allow someone to rent my place and they have a 'record' of being a problem tenant? Also, while you are being 'honest', do you have $35 per application filed to throw away? Most do not. So the best thing for you to do is to allow an attorney or attorney assisted service (like removeevictions.com) to work for you. They will evaluate your entire eviction process and work within your state laws to find a way to have your eviction removed from your records (credit report and rental history records). I am addament about this because they have done so for me, so I know that it can be done. The little money that I paid them was a drop in the bucket compared to the money that I saved on my lease option to buy (which I now rent out).
One way to work it is to test it for yourself. Calll a few property management companies and/or landlords and anonymously and with caller id ask them if they rent/lease to tenants with eviction records. When you have your consensus, contact removeevictions.com and see if they can help you.

Which is worse an eviction or broken lease?
An eviction definitely! With a broken lease, you are still paying your landlord the rent that you own him and will probably be paying a fee to break the lease. With an evicition, the renter probably has stopped paying the rent or has damaged the property or has been doing something illegal like growing marijuana on the property.
If a landlord filed an eviction then dropped it before the court date is it still on the renter's record?
No. But it may still be in the court records forever, filed under the names of the parties.
Can a landlord evict you if you signed a lease option to purchase?
That it is a "lease - with an option to purchase" makes no difference. You would be subject to eviction like any lease tennant, the same as if it didn't have an option. (Agreeably , you MAY still have the option to exercise your right to purchase rather than move, if you are able to perform as required by the Option agreement. It is also possible, and said in most contracts, that breeching the lease eliminates the Option).
Can you still rent out an apt if im on a lease for a house?
Yes.
Is it illegal to sign the lease for your own apartment if you are already on a lease with your boyfriend but you move out?
No. But, you will still be responsible for your share of the previous lease unless the landlord/rental agency (not the the other leasees) agree to release you from your obligation.
What can landlord do if the tenant has not signed a new lease but still in apartment?
The natural demise of the lease is grounds for eviction. The process varies by state.
If I move out before court will the eviction still go on my record?
Once an eviction proceeding has been initiated (the case has been filed by the clerk), it becomes a matter of public record. So even if you leave the premises before the eviction concludes or the writ is served, it can still be found.

If your tenant bounces a check for the last month of the lease and then does not want to move out what can you do?
Give them an eviction notice and if they still refuse then have the local sherriff remove them, forcefully if necessary.
Is the lease terminate if there is an eviction?
Certainly. If you are being evicted, you had to have breached the lease from the beginning. But be aware, many of the aspects of the lease you are still held to, like damage repair or other things that are within the lease. It doesnt remove the laws and requirements of your obligations as agreed upon within the lease. It just means you tenancy is comming to an end here shortly.
If a landlord filed an eviction then dropped it before the court date is it still on the renter's record?
No. But it may still be in the court records forever, filed under the names of the parties.
If apartment inspection deems apt is kept clean and safe Is eviction for clutter legal?
It depends mainly on two things: 1) The rental contract and 2) The relevant laws and regulations of your state. But even if one of those forbids eviction for clutter, you could still be pushed out at the end of your lease by the landlord simply refusing to renew rather than by "eviction" proceedings, as such.
What happens to a cosigner of a car loan when the primary loan holder files bankruptcy and the loan is discharged and they do a voluntary repossession?
They can still come after the cosigner, and it will still reflect poorly on your cosigner's credit history. You have been absolved of the debt, not your cosigner.
If a car was voluntary repossessed and the cosigner was not notified is the cosigner still responsible?
Yes. If you signed the loan, you are still legally responsible for it.
