They don’t only look at your credit score but as well your job history,last residence, My bf and i do not have good credit, but because we had past good references, and time at our jobs, plus we had to make 3 times of what the rent was, and we were able to rent an apt. I’m not from your area, but was just simply responding…sorry

Apartment places aren’t looking at your “SCORE”, they are looking at and verifying your work, and also checking for previous broken leases

Your credit score won’t prevent you from getting a apartment…
