My husband and I have been trying to get an apartment for several months now. Every time we apply for an apartment, we get denied on our credit. We even offered to put two months security down, but the landlord refused.
I've thought of sub-leasing from a friend, but that's no guarentee, since I've heard that even the people that are sub-letting have to have their credit checked.
We've rented from a private owner who didn't need a credit check, but that didn't work out. She didn't give us a lease, and now she's evicting us. I know we can't be the only people in New York City who have bad credit. How do you get an apartment when you get denied because of bad credit?
