rent apartment after bk

It's possible that you could get an apartment on your own but it's more likely you'll need a cosigner.

Hi!
Welcome to the forums!
It will be difficult. I would suggest you to go to the individual land lords. Big apartment complexes may refuse to rent you. The individual lenders may agree to rent you after hearing your case. if you can pay the rent of the first month in advance, then this may convince the individual land lords that you'll make the monthly rent payments on time. Alternatively, I would suggest you to start re-building your credit.

I used to work for an apartment complex with complexes all over the US. Renting is NOT an issue if you have filed bankruptcy. They are only concerned if you have skipped out on other rent or have been evicted. They are looking for the income that shows you can afford it. Filling bk lowers or eliminates your monthly expenses thus you are more likely to be able to afford rent.

Soaplady is right on as usual:). I rented my apt. right after BK, and it was no problem.
