If you've been denied housing because of an eviction, broken lease, or bad credit, you’re not alone — but you’re also not out of options. At our second chance apartment locating service, we specialize in helping renters just like you. Unfortunately, there are a lot of myths out there that keep people from even trying. Let's clear the air.
Myth #1: You can’t rent again after an eviction.
Truth: You can rent again — with the right help and the right property connections.
While many traditional landlords and big apartment complexes may reject an application with a past eviction, second chance apartments are specifically designed to give people a fresh start. These properties are more flexible, often looking at your current income and stability rather than just your past mistakes.
A professional apartment locator can help you find these hidden gems that don’t advertise openly online.
Myth #2: All second chance apartments are in bad neighborhoods.
Truth: Not true! There are safe, clean, and well-maintained second chance properties in desirable areas.
Many people assume that if an apartment is eviction-friendly or accepts bad credit, it must be in a high-crime or poorly maintained area. But that’s simply not the case. The key is knowing where to look — and that’s where we come in.
As experienced apartment locators, we work directly with a network of properties across the city, including suburban and urban locations with amenities, security features, and access to good schools or jobs.
Myth #3: You have to wait 7 years before you can rent again.
Truth: You don’t have to wait years — you can get approved right now, even if your eviction or broken lease is recent.
Yes, evictions can stay on your record for up to 7 years, but many second chance landlords don’t base decisions solely on your record. They consider your current employment, income, rental references, and your willingness to move forward.
We’ve helped clients with evictions/broken leases as recent as 1 year ago find quality housing. Don't let outdated information keep you from applying.
Myth #4: If you owe money to a previous landlord, no one will rent to you.
Truth: Some properties will still work with you — even if you owe a balance.
While it’s always ideal to resolve outstanding debts, the reality is many people need housing while they’re still working on clearing past balances. Some landlords will overlook debts to previous complexes, especially if you have proof of income, co-signer, or you can pay a higher deposit.
An apartment locator can help you present your application in the best light, even with debts on your rental history.
Myth #5: No one will help you if you have bad credit or a broken lease.
Truth: That’s exactly what second chance apartment locators are here for.
We specialize in helping renters with credit challenges, rental debt, evictions, or broken leases. This is our mission — not a side service.
