Can you still rent a private house if you got a poor credit history?

I have CCJ's but rent privately. The best thing to do is admit it all prior to a credit check, and explain the exact circumstances. Using this method, I have not had to supply additional deposit etc. And they even let me have 3 dogs living with me.

It might even be easier than going to a professionally managed place that has more firm guidelines.
Be honest about your credit upfront with the landlord, and do what you can to make yourself more "creditworthy", by clearly documenting your income, and perhaps offering a larger security deposit.

Might be tough. Landlords and agents will always want references.
Do you know anyone (your parents perhaps?) who would be willing to act as guarantor on the rent?

it is. though some may ask you to pay extra security on top of first and last months rent.

Depends on the agency/ landlord.

Probably if you provide a guarantor.
