No matter what your situation is we work with the following credit and background issues.
Personal Credit Issues:
List of Credit Issues
No matter what type of credit profile you have, it’s concerning and frustrating to experience a denial at the apartment community you applied with. Fortunately we have options available that may provide you with a second chance apartment that suits your lifestyle.
- Late Payments: Missing or making late payments on credit cards, loans, or other bills can negatively impact your credit history which can lead to getting denied on your rental application.
- Defaults: Failing to repay a loan as per the agreed-upon terms can result in a default, which has a significant negative impact on credit dropping the credit score below 600 which is often the minimum an apartment community requires here in Texas.
- Bankruptcy: Declaring bankruptcy indicates a severe financial crisis and can stay on your credit report for several years which may prohibit you from getting approved with a landlord, property manager or any rental housing in Texas.
- Foreclosure: Losing a home due to foreclosure can have a lasting impact on credit scores which can make it difficult for quite some time to find adequate housing for yourself or your family.
- Repossessions: If a lender repossesses a financed asset (such as a car) due to non-payment, it can be reflected in your credit history and lower your credit score which may impact your ability to find an apartment that will approve you.
- Collections: Unpaid debts that are sent to collections agencies can appear on your credit report, impacting your credit score and taking a toll on your well being and financial health.
- High Credit Card Balances: Carrying high balances on credit cards in relation to your credit limit can negatively affect your credit utilization ratio which inturn can lead to you getting denied for an apartment here in Texas.
- Identity Theft: Fraudulent activities on your credit accounts, resulting from identity theft, can cause credit issues if not addressed promptly. We know this can be confusing and difficult when it’s not yours so let us see what we can do for you!
- Civil Judgments: Legal judgments related to debt or financial matters may be reported on your credit history and may show that you are not credit worthy once the apartment complex runs a credit check.
- Tax Liens: Unpaid tax debts can lead to the placement of a tax lien on your credit report resulting in a lower score.
- Closed Accounts: Closing credit accounts, especially older ones, can affect the length of your credit history, potentially impacting your credit score which is why you should leave them open even if you aren’t using them.
- Inquiries: Multiple recent inquiries into your credit report (hard inquiries) can slightly lower your credit score so don’t do it or better yet, have them ran all within 30 days and most credit reporting agencies will only count it as 1 credit pull.
Personal Background Issues:
List of Background Issues
You may have one or the following issues listed below. The most common requests involve drug charges, dwi, broken leases and felonies. If you have been denied an approval for any of these, please contact us for a free consultation on your next second chance apartment.
- Misdemeanors: Less serious offenses, such as petty theft, disorderly conduct, or minor drug possession, are considered misdemeanors and may appear on a criminal background check.
- Felonies: More serious crimes, like burglary, assault, drug trafficking, or white-collar crimes, are classified as felonies and have a more significant impact on a background check and make it difficult in finding housing that’s right for your lifestyle.
- DUI/DWI: Driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) convictions can be recorded on a criminal background check. Some apartment communites will deny. Case by case basis.
- Domestic Violence: Convictions related to domestic violence, including assault or harassment within a domestic relationship, may be part of a criminal background. These cases are difficult and a individual landlord might be your best option.
- Sex Offenses: Crimes of a sexual nature, such as sexual assault, rape, or child molestation, can have a severe impact on a background check. Unfortuantely we can’t help in these scenarios.
- Drug Offenses: Drug-related offenses, including possession, distribution, or manufacturing, may be visible on a criminal background check and depending on the drug, amount and case you might have some housing options that will work for you.
- Assault and Battery: Convictions for assault or battery, involving physical harm or the threat of harm to another person, can be part of a criminal record. Unfortuantely most apartment communites will deny any applicant if there is a recent assualt/batter charge on your record.
- Theft and Robbery: Crimes involving theft, burglary, or robbery may be recorded on a criminal background check and make it difficult in locating an apartment that will approve you.
- Fraud and White-Collar Crimes: Convictions related to fraud, embezzlement, or other white-collar crimes can impact a background check and potentially result in a denial from any apartment commuity so check with us and we’ll see what we can do!
- Probation or Parole: Being on probation or parole may be listed on a background check, indicating a prior criminal conviction. Depending on how long it’s been you might have success with our search however you must be off Parole for us to help.
- Juvenile Records: Certain juvenile offenses may be sealed or expunged, but in some cases, they can appear on a background check so be careful and know what’s on your record before you apply so you don’t get charged an app/admin fee only to get denied.
- Outstanding Warrants: If there are any outstanding warrants for arrest, this information may be part of a criminal background check an apartment community will run and result in a straight denial.

Credit issues can differ from person to person, and you may face different difficulties depending on your financial history. Credit reports can be complicated, and your situation may be different. If you’re experiencing credit issues, it’s best to check your credit report on a regular basis through freecreditreport.com or creditkarma.com, correct any errors, and work on improving your credit over time.
Like credit issues, criminal background issues can have a range of impacts, depending on the type of crime, whether it’s a misdemeanor or a felony, and the length of time it’s been on your record.
Keep in mind that criminal records law varies from state to state, and some criminal offenses are expunged after a certain amount of time, while others remain sealed or expunged.
If you have a criminal record, you may want to consult with a lawyer to help you resolve or reduce the impact of your criminal record issues.
