자주 묻는 질문

Can you get an apartment with bad credit?

Yes. Nearly 75% of applicants with bad credit get approved when they offer a co-signer, larger deposit, or proof of stable income. Bad credit is a hurdle, not a wall.

What credit score do you need to rent an apartment?

Most landlords prefer 620+, but many will work with scores in the 580-620 range if you show income at 3x the rent and provide references. Some landlords don't check credit at all.

How much should you offer for a security deposit with bad credit?

Offer the legal maximum for your state (usually 1-2 months' rent). In New York or New Jersey, that's one month. In California, it's one month. In other states, it might be 1.5-2 months. Check your state's tenant laws first.

Do co-signers have to live with you?

No. A co-signer can live anywhere and doesn't need to be on the lease. They're simply guaranteeing payment if you don't pay rent. They're legally liable for the full lease amount if you default.

How long does it take to dispute credit report errors?

About 30 days. The credit bureaus must investigate within 30 days of receiving your dispute. Many errors are resolved in 2-3 weeks. Scores typically improve within days of removal.

Can you appeal a denied apartment application?

Yes. About 40% of people who appeal successfully get approved, especially if they address the landlord's specific concerns with additional documentation, a co-signer, or a larger deposit. Always ask for the written reason for denial first.
