Felony where can you find a descent place to live?

Answer 1

finding a place to live when you have a felony of any kind on your record is EXTREMELY difficult. My husband and I both have a felony on our record because we used to work nights and we put our 3 year old son down for a nap during the day one time and he got out and went 2 houses down and across the street to a neighbor who called the police. We were both charged with felony injury to a child because he "could have" gotten hurt not because he did. He wasn't injured at all but now trying to find somewhere to rent is next to impossible! Property Management places dont care what the felony was for or how long ago it was, they automatically deny you. The best option is to look for a private owner that won't do a background check. That is what we have had to do. We also have a large dog which makes it even harder so I can sympathize with you. Check Craigslist in your area www.craigslist.com or your local newspaper. The only problem we have found with owner managed properties is they tend to be a little more intrusive while you live there because to them it is still their home. Good luck with your search. We are currently looking to move to a smaller home because the one we have is just to big and about twice what we need as far as space goes so we are struggling to find another, smaller place that will allow our dog.
