I have bad credit and am desperate to find an apartment in Mass?

February 16, 2010


I am currently going through a divorce and one of the main reasons I am divorcing my soon to be ex is that he has ruined me financially. My house is foreclosing and I need to find an apartment between Dighton, Ma and Bridgewater, Ma. Here’s my problem. My credit since I have been married is terrible. I am very dependable and have been at the same job for almost 8 years. I can provide personal and professional references and pay a few months rent in advance if need be. What can I do? People with bad credit have to live somewhere, right? Help.. I don’t want to end up homeless. Any ideas or suggestions would be great.

Look for a FREE Credit Counseling organization in your area. They can help with your problem of credit repair and sources of help for housing. Avoid the fee based organizations.

Maybe you could get someone to co-sign for you.

Listen. Credit scores are VERY overrated when it comes to renting. Normally they only make a difference if you are looking at a place you probably cant afford to begin with. In my life I have never heard of anyone I know getting rejected from an apartment. And i know some people with AWFUL credit. Just look around and someone will let you in no problem.
