I broke a rental lease, a year ago, will that prevent me from getting into an apartment?

Definately, but just don't list them as a reference, it could be on a credit report though so be careful, try to find a place that doesn't dig to deep into your background.I broke a rental lease, a year ago, will that prevent me from getting into an apartment?
it should not but they may ask you todisclose as to why you broke the lease then.I broke a rental lease, a year ago, will that prevent me from getting into an apartment?
Yes, if you try to get a ref. from that landlord.
Most Likely. You'll get a lousy reference.
Only if a civil judgment was made and you didn't pay it.





You'd know if that happened.





If you bailed in the middle of the night, chances are you're on paper somewhere.





Get someone else to sign your lease.
I used to work for an attorney and I dealt with the area of his practice for all the rental properties in our area.





Breaking a lease will almost definetly prevent you from getting into a good apartment complex. Anyone with $9.99 and a company name can check your credit score, not to mention most of the time you are obligated to write down your previous housing situations on an application. If you broke the lease and were then taken to court to pay back fines, that will definetly show up.





Landlords check on their tennants before they move in almost 100% of the time because renting is a dangerous money game. Letting an unreliable person rent an apartment can lead to thousands of dollars lost for the landlord.





Your best bet would be to stay away from apartment complexes. Find a room in a house, or an upstairs that was converted into a house. Normally, those are actually cheaper than renting in a complex.





Plus, every time someone checks your credit score, the score actually goes down. So if you don't think you'll get the apartment, don't waste the bad credit score.
It is possible, but really depends on the situation. If you landlord ALLOWED you to break the lease, then you are in the clear. However, if you just up and left-that could cause a problem. I work in a rental office and this is one of the things we look for in an applicant. We look to see if they paid their rent on time, they completed the terms of the lease, they were good tenants, any damages, etc... IF you owe the previous landlord any money, that will hurt you. Most rental agencies, but not all landlords, will check your credit as well as if you have any dispossessory warrants (Evictions) with your local magistrate court. Your best bet would be to find an individual who only owns one or two pieces of real estate. Most likely, they will not run any kind of check like that. GOOD LUCK
Check your credit report, if you were paid up on the lease I don't think they can touch you. But then I wouldn't put that apartment on your references either.
Probably.
check your credit report see if it shows up there.


sometimes not all you have to do is try.
