You can rent an apartment with bad rental history by going to your town or county and asking for a list of apartments and houses that rent to low income people. These people typically don't have good rental history but the managers and owners will work with them. You can also apply anyway and may have to put down a larger deposit than someone with good rental credit and credit history.

How can you check your rental history without paying anything?

Go to an apartment place and ask them that you are interested in an apartment with them but you want to make sure your rental history report is clean. And then ask them to print one up.
