My company is closing here in California next May and I will be relocating to Austin in either mid-Aprl or May 1st of next year. I have been with my company for 23 years and am looking for a 4-6 month rental until I purchase a home. My current credit score is fair-good due in part to a divorce a couple of years back. As I have never rented an apartment before, always a home, I am not familiar with the credit requirements, I have heard they are very stringent. If I would not qualify, any advice you might have to offer would be greatly appreciated.

I am on a debt management plan however all of my accounts are now current on the plan. Will this affect my ability to rent a new apartment?
Just to clarify, I did not file bankruptcy but am simply on a debt management plan for making payments.

I need to get an apartment ASAP but last I checked my credit score was 615. I recently consolidated my student loans (I’m still in college) and was told that would help it. What does my credit score need to be in order for me to get an apartment?

I want to move in with a friend of mine, who’s apartment is run by a large company. I know they will do a credit check. My credit score is a 629… not the bottom, but not great. Do you think they’ll be okay with that?

To complicate matters, this company already approved me for a lease several months ago, but that fell through… I believe my credit was higher then. I really just don’t want to be stuck with nowhere to live. Please help, especially if you really know what you’re talking about!
