Most apartments, houses, and townhomes in the Fort Worth area require a broken lease or eviction to be at least two years old before approving an application, though a few may accept newer issues if the rental debt is minimal. Your chances improve if you’ve established rental history since the eviction or broken lease. There are also select properties that will consider applicants with more recent issues.

All apartments in the Fort Worth area conduct criminal background checks. If you received deferred adjudication, it’s advisable to have your record expunged before applying, as expungement prevents the public from seeing your record. For misdemeanor convictions, most properties will offer a second chance if the offense was nonviolent. The same is true for felony convictions—nonviolent offenses typically have a much higher approval rate than aggravated or violent ones. If you do have a felony conviction, we will work hard to locate a felony-friendly apartment. While these are more limited, we do know of properties that will consider such applications. Fill out the form, and we’ll get started.

Each apartment or house has its own requirements, so we recommend discussing your situation with an experienced leasing agent before applying. Be prepared with money orders for administration fees, application fees, and deposits. Many applicants lose available units by leaving to purchase money orders after touring. Before applying, provide your apartment locator with complete and accurate information.

Most properties require gross monthly income of two to three times the rent (for example, $700 rent typically requires $1,750–$2,100 in monthly income). Some communities require proof that you’ve reestablished a rental agreement elsewhere, and many approvals include a double or additional deposit.

First-time renters are often denied due to limited history, but we use our experience to improve approval outcomes. Approval criteria vary widely, and requirements can change based on property ownership, management, or vacancy levels. The more vacancies a property has, the more flexible it may be. The fewer vacancies, the stricter the criteria tend to be.

Providing detailed information about evictions, broken leases, or criminal history allows us to hand-pick properties that fit your situation. Before we send you a list of apartments or homes, we recommend reviewing your credit reports so you know exactly what appears. Apartments with no credit check are rare today, and most properties will run some form of screening.
