I’m 23 and am looking to get my own apartment. I’ve lived with my mom my whole life so this would be my first apartment so I don’t have any rental history and my credit is definitely less than perfect. What do apartments check for when you try to rent one? I’m not looking to get like a fancy condo or something. Just a small one bedroom apartment that costs between $400-$500 a month rent. Nothing fancy. Think I’ll have a problem getting an apartment?
It really depends on the landlord.
Most will want to see some sort of rental history.
All will want to see that you pay your bills on time.
My boyfriend lives with an aunt that charges way to much for rent. he pay a third when four people live there. She says that his cuz doesnt count b/c she cant work. But shouldnt that be her and her husbands responsibility? And its hard finding another apartment. She wants him out b/c she says she dont need his money anymore.
Well …Tell him to get his own apartment and he can find one on …
Craigslist.org
Sublet.com
MySpace.com (Classifieds)
Wijiji.com
…. OR …. If he is on "limited" income he can look for a roommate and go ahead and move into their home that they already have ….. He can find a Roomie at:

Good Luck to you ‘n Him !!
