Helping Good People With Bad Credit

Online, September 21, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Millions of Americans are facing the negative effects of a bad credit score. When a bad credit score determines whether or not people can find a place to live, this causes a serious problem. Luckily, there are services available to assist those who need a little help.

With the foreclosure rate continuing to rise across the country, these former homeowners need somewhere to go, creating an increased demand for rental properties. With this increased demand, owners and property managers can afford to be more selective, raising the bar on what they consider as a qualified applicant. In most cases this means they require good credit scores, immediately eliminating a large number of applicants.

Now this doesn't mean that landlords and property managers are cold-hearted and don't sympathize with those experiencing unfortunate circumstances! The fact of the matter is they have a business to maintain and need to make responsible choices when it comes to selecting tenants. Those with low credit scores are seen as high-risk applicants. Landlords are hesitant to rent to them in fear that they will not make payments on time or break their lease. These scenarios result in loss of income due to both non-payment and extended vacancy while they go through the process again to fill the unit with a qualified tenant.

This inability to qualify for a rental property can create a huge upset for families. It causes a high level of stress as the uncertainty can interfere with work, school and family stability.
