How to Rent an Apartment After an Eviction in Houston: Your Complete 2025 Guide
Houston’s rental market is booming, but an eviction on your record can make it feel like you’re locked out of every option. The truth? You still have choices — if you know how to navigate the process.
At Second Chance Leasing Dallas (serving Houston too), we help renters with evictions, broken leases, bad credit, and more get approved for apartments across the Houston metro area.
1. Review Your Eviction History
Before you start applying:
-
Know when the eviction happened.
-
Identify the amount owed (if any).
-
See if it appears on your credit report or only in rental databases.
💡 Pro Tip: Many Houston landlords are more flexible with older evictions or if you can provide proof of a steady job and income.
2. Search for Eviction-Friendly Houston Apartments
We keep a private list of Houston properties that:
-
Accept older evictions
-
Consider co-signers
-
Allow larger deposits instead of strict credit/rental history
We call properties for you in advance to verify they’re truly eviction-friendly before you apply.
3. Make Your Application Stronger
You can improve your approval odds by:
-
Offering a larger deposit or multiple months’ rent upfront
-
Showing 2.5–3x rent in monthly income
-
Bringing reference letters from previous landlords or employers
4. Be Open to Stepping Stones
Sometimes the fastest path back into the rental market is with a more flexible landlord for 6–12 months, then reapplying to your preferred areas with a stronger record.
5. Work with a Houston Second Chance Leasing Specialist
-
We know exactly which apartments are open to working with your situation.
-
We save you money by avoiding properties that will automatically deny you.
-
Free to you — the property pays us once you move in.
