Is it possible to have someone else sign the lease for you, like your parents? The laws in regard to renting need to be changed.

Don't do Fixing Credit Reports - they are scams and will ripp you off. Only way to fix your c.r. is 2nd and 3rd jobs - pay your bills off. Credit fixer actually mess up credit more.
As for renting , find a mom-pop operation or a place with real human managers - rent from them , stay 2 yrs pay in advance of date make no waves. You got best references now.

Look for a month-to-month rental agreement, not a 1-year lease. This way its less risky for a landlord.

The landlord could ask for a cashiers check for the deposit.
