Usually, it depends on the landlord though. That's how most people with bad credit get an apartment.
Few traditional property owners or management companies will rent an apartment to you if you have demonstrably bad credit. Some ways to manage that include: * Putting down a higher security deposit (3-6 months instead of 1-2 months) * Ask someone with better credit to apply with you and then have them "leave" the rental after a month * Look for apartments next to or very close to colleges and universities - property owners tend to be a bit more lax in those areas
The landlord refuses to return personal property until the balance of his rent has been paid. 3 months have passed.
If you are paying rent on time for both apartments, there will be no impact on your credit report or credit score. Landlords use credit bureaus to check the credit of potential renters, however, they very rarely report abuse until the renter is many months behind. Having two rental units should not impact your credit score unless you have missed a number of rent payments.
If you have a contract stating that you did indeed pay your money upfront that serves as a first and last months deposit, then there should not be any problem. If you do not have a contract, then the landlord can say that was a damage deposit...all depends on what you have in writing.
Unfortunately all apartment complexes check for credit but some of them will work with you. They may charge you one or two months rent as a security deposit to ensure that you wont break your lease or refuse payment. I would try to rent from a private person if you don't want your credit ran by an apartment complex.
No. It should show on your credit report as a loan with 0 balance. However it could help if you paid 1/4 each month for 4 months if you have time as it would add to your good credit.
Yes, many do.
Your credit score relies most heavily on the most recent 12 months of activity. Therefore, the best strategy will be to continue using credit responsibly and demonstrate a history of credit worthiness.

As a landlord, I will rent to someone with no credit, providing: 1. The applicant has had the same job for six months. 2. The applicant has never been convicted of a felony. 3. The applicant has someone to co-sign the rental contract that has good credit, such as their parents. (You can show "good faith" by offering two to three months rent upfront,instead of the customary one month)
Your best be will be to visit www.freecreditscore.com. You are allowed 1 free credit report every 12 months. This will allow you to see in what areas your score is lacking before you make a home purchase.
You have to establish credit. One way is to obtain a loan through a furnature store or auto dealer. You purchase an item, and even if you could pay cash, take advantage of 'no interest for three months' or other such items to make payments on the item. This will build up a credit rating. One or two credit cards, (Not dozens!) with prompt pay-offs, is always a good thing. If you are renting through a large property management firm, they may report your rent payments to the credit bureaus.
Your chances are pretty slim. With that being said, my suggestion to you is to open a bank account and start building a long term relationship. Once you build up $1,000.00 in your savings account parlay that into a secured loan. Make your payments for 6 months and then pay it off in full. Now you have a positive credit history. It is an old fashion way of building your credit but it works!
Building a business reputation does not happen overnight. Suppliers report monthly and it will take several months for your businesses credit history to be built up. Try and set up accounts with small suppliers to help build your credit history and keep your payments up to date.
People whose credit history is clear of bankruptcy, who have not been denied by GE Capital Retail bank within the last six months, and are above 18 years old are eligible for a Chevron Texaco credit card.
6 months
History on your credit accounts, especially what has taken place in the last twelve months, accounts for 35% of your credit score. This can mean a 200 to 300 point deduction for late payments. The derogatory information stays on your credit report for 7 years. But it will start to affect your score less and less after that critical 12 month period is over.
