How 2nd Chance Apartments Work

We understand that finding a new apartment can be challenging, especially if you have a less-than-perfect rental history. Our goal is to help you navigate these challenges and find a place to call home. Here’s everything you need to know about our process and how we can assist you.

Who We Can Help

Our listed apartments are open to working with individuals who have one or more of the following situations:

  • Bad Credit
  • Broken Lease
  • Evictions
  • Misdemeanors
  • First-time Renters

However, keep in mind that each apartment community has its own criteria. For example, some apartments might accept broken leases only if they occurred over three years ago, while others may overlook property debt if it’s fully paid off or below a certain amount.

Keys to Success

Patience and Organization: Successfully leasing a new apartment requires patience and a bit of organization. We recommend using a spreadsheet to keep track of the apartments you contact and take notes during your search.

Calling Script and Tips

Before visiting any apartment, always call first. Here’s a handy script and some tips to guide you:

  1. State You Are Working with an Apartment Locator: This helps establish your serious intent.
  2. Inquire About Availability: Ask if they have units available for the type you’re interested in.
  3. Ask for Current Rent Rates and Specials: Gather this information early to avoid any changes later.
  4. Explain Your Situation Briefly: For example, say, “I have an eviction from March 2020.” Keep it short and to the point.
  5. Get the Representative’s Name: Deal only with them to avoid miscommunications.

What Not to Say

Avoid asking if they offer “second-chance leasing.” This term can mean different things to different people, and most will decline before understanding your situation. Instead, explain your unique circumstances clearly and succinctly.

How to Apply for an Apartment

When you visit a property, it’s crucial that they know you’re working with 2nd Chance Apartment. This ensures we receive compensation and can offer you a rebate. Here’s what you need to do:

  1. Pre-Register with Us: Some apartments require us to pre-register you before you contact or visit them.
  2. List Us on the Guest Card: When you visit, list “2nd Chance Apartment” as your referral source.
  3. Include Us on the Rental Application: On the rental application, make sure to mention “2nd Chance Apartment” in the referral section.

Staying Positive

Don’t be discouraged if you don’t meet the criteria for one apartment. We have over 30 apartments listed in most areas that will consider your application. Sometimes, despite following all steps perfectly, approval isn’t guaranteed. If you’re denied, we can send you a new list. If you’ve paid a deposit and face issues getting it back, we provide resources to help you retrieve your deposit.

Remember, finding a new home is a journey. Stay positive, stay organized, and let 2nd Chance Apartments assist you every step of the way.
