It should be ok, just explain the situation to the real estate agent. It might involve you having to have references and pay a higher bond/ deposit but they should give you a go

hmmmms answer is most accurate that private owners will be less likely to perform checks and go by the feel of an individual. You can usually identify these people from larger corporations by the type of sign they have in the yard.
Also, right now, depending on where you are in the country, everyone is buying and so renters have a little more power. I have had clients rent to individuals who were evicted 6 months ago from somewhere else. They figure 3 months of rent is better then nothing.
I wouldn't go in advertising your situation, but if you have the deposit and are in an area where landlords need renters, you should not have any issues at all.
I am in Cleveland Ohio and know that you would have no problems renting in decent suburbs with bad credit. They will look at other factors like job length, amount of time at current job, how much money in the bank.

First thing to look for is privately owned units. Anything owned by a corporation will definitely do a check. Usually you need your income to be 3x the amount of your rent so keep that in mind as you fill out your application. When you go and look at the place dress very nicely and be the most charming you've ever been in your life. A lot of private owners will just go with the feeling they get from you and skip the credit check which they have to pay for. Good Luck!!!

i think you can rent with poor or bad credit. i guess all it matters if you are fully employed and have a good history record with your current real estate agencies.
