Credit Issues

Lesson: It doesn’t matter how horrible you are, if your credit is excellent, you get an apartment. If you’re employed, a good person, have a history of paying rent on time, have had the same job and lived in the city for five years, but your credit is damaged, forget it. “Adolph Hitler, Mussolini, and Mr. Pol Pot applying for a 3 bedroom? Credit, excellent. Thumbs and bank, present. Income, top percentile. Rented.” “Scott Peterson, single, just out of prison, but excellent financials and thumbs. Rented.” “Person with steady respectable job, good tenant, credit is a mess because she was identity thefted. Forget it. Give the apartment to Charles Manson. ”
