Tenant screening and credit score

Member since 2025 · 1 post · 0 votes

I am a 68-year-old veteran. I'm on the hudvash program and have been on it successfully for 16 years. However, my credit is not good and I'm having a difficult time getting anyone to rent to me. I need to find a place to live and I don't know what to do.

If anyone can advise, I would appreciate it

Why can't you fix your credit?

Thank you for your service. I’m sorry that you’ve had a hard time finding a place to rent. Some property managers will look at other factors, not just your credit score. I would suggest making sure you don’t have any delinquent utility accounts or back rent. Another option would be a co-living arrangement utilizing a company like PadSplit. I hope this helps.

Offer multiple months of advanced rent. This takes some of the risk off of the landlord and places the risk on you.
