Please allow me to confirm that it CAN effect your credit. The apartment community typically, but not always, turns the accounts over to a debt collection agency. Once the agency has the account, they start sending letters, calling etc. The account is typically reported to the bureaus between 90-120 days after placement. The reporting is the first piece of leverage to get a debtor to pay. The goal is to get the money, not to prevent you from opening up an account at Best Buy. If you pay the collection agency quickly, you won't have a mark on your credit at all. You might even be able to pay a settlement rather than a full amount. Evictions however are reported independently through the county. Evictions by the way, don't drop off after 7 years, depending on the state, they can last a lot longer depending on the state. The FCRA (fair credit reporting act) says that an item on your credit can stay for 7 years from the date the debt was incurred OR the last payment date.
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.
It's difficult, but many landlords just want to rent the empty space and you might get lucky enough they won't check you out and ask for first and last months rent. Good luck Marcy I speak from personal experience. I was just on an apartment hunt and I have a very poor credit rating (we're talking a couple of charge offs and late payments galore, not that I'm bragging by any means), not to mention that I am fresh out of college with no real job security. I was even able to go through a realtor and secured an apartment with the assistance of someone called a "guarantor". This is basically a co-signer assuring that your rent will be paid and they won't get stuck with someone who bailed on the lease. However, this person is also responsible if you are not timely with your payments so don't screw your guarantor over it WILL affect their credit!! Well let me tell you I have bad credit and it is hard, however you should not get disgaraged at all. I went to one of those places were they get the apartment in their company name and you pay them 20% of the rent...After doing that for about an year I realized I was throwing extra money down the drain. I applied for an apartment in my own name and got approved, however it was not a place that I would have chosen but it was my own place in my own name. Right now I having a hard time getting something that I really like with all the ammenities for a good price and decent with my poor credit that is what I am having a hard time with. Because them old rank places would approve you its they good decent places that are hard on you.
Yes, but not very many places will accept you without having had your own apartment previously- still, it can be done.
Yes, anyone can apply for an apartment in Chambersburg. However, depending on the owner, some apartments do have stricter inclusion criteria than others. Having good references is a plus.
when you buy items from QVC, HSN or SHOPNBC.com, they offer 3-5 payments on stuff like that. it makes it easier to buy, than having to do it all up front.

If you use the card responsibly by making on-time payments and keeping your balance low, it can help build a positive credit history and improve your credit score.
