I am looking at getting an apartment some time in the near future. Of course my credit is toast. I've been in a dmp for 6 months now and i'm working hard at getting it better, my student loans just became current again, etc.

Anyway does anyone have any advice on what I can do to better my chances of getting an apartment?


I'd suggest roommates or co-signors. Both my boyfriend and I had BAD credit when we applied for our first apt. 4 years ago. Ask the complex if they do credit checks. Most places just want to make sure there isn't a previous eviction in your history, and that you make enough to afford the place. For example, our first apt. was so-signed by my boyfriend's mother because we had zero rental history. Although, we made, combined, over 3 times the rent amount, which is standard for how much income they require.

Bottom line, find out from the complex what kind of checks they perform first.
