Mortgage & Renting

The high risk associated with a history of bad credit and bankruptcy can also make it difficult for someone to obtain financing for a new home, or even to rent a house or apartment. Banks and landlords may worry that a person with a spotty financial history will not be able to make regular payments on mortgage and rent, and will thus turn down a person’s application. With a steady income, a list of references, and cash in hand, however, a person can get around these difficulties. It is also possible to find landlords or banks that are willing to deal with bad credit cases.
