[QUOTE="buddy, post: 584415, member: 12886"] It's true each company is different. I was told no for the very house I am living in. But on of the managers had met me in person. I explained the situation and they were not as hung up on my credit...they focused on utilities and rent on time....but that I didn't make enough that rent was only a certain percentage of my monthly income. I think it was about five percent off. I kept saying if I could pay for a fifteen hundred dollar apartment with no lates for six years I can handle an eleven hundred dollar one (and for this one water and trash is included, that one was not) So I was turned down. I gave up...got a call later and she said she called the owner of the unit (I was looking at private homes/town homes rented out by individuals who use management agencies) and she said it was OK if I paid an increased deposit as you said. Look under houses for rent too...just make sure it when you look that it is an investment property not someone who is just renting it out until they can sell it. It will work out.....but boy is it a hard road. I saw on FB recently this great picture of when one door closes another opens. A friend pasted it to her wall....then I found one that had eyeballs popping out of the dark with a bubble that said, I know when one door closes, another opens, but man these halls are a bi**h. So true. [/QUOTE]
