Is it true that if they ask for an application fee, they check for credit with the money?
I'm looking to rent a house but I have no credit at all considering I'm 20.

If its an apartment complex or a house that is run not by a landord, but a managment company, then yes theyre checking your credit. Do not fear, I went through the same thing when I was 20, a whole two years ago. As long as you dont have utility bills or evictions on your credit report, you'll be fine. I definately recommend a Keg of Rolling Rock Black for your house warming party.

Yep, most do credit checks now.
You can supply letters of reference, a statement from your employer, and bank references, and a landlord might let you move in. (Ask the landlord what he/she/they will accept seeing as you have no credit.) Perhaps someone can co-sign with you.

They have to tell you they are going to run your credit and you must authorize this to take place.

im sure theyll check your credit... generally, NO credit isnt such a huge deal... it's BAD credit that will bite you in the butt.

I dunno but that would make sense cuz its really expensive to check a person's credit.
