Licensed Austin locators who advocate for second-chance renters.
We've spent 15+ years figuring out which Austin-area apartments will say yes when standard screening says no. We put that database to work for you, free.
Why we started
Second-chance renters get treated badly by the standard apartment search. Auto-denials. Lost application fees. Leasing agents who give vague answers about screening criteria. Predators who prey on desperate movers.
We built Bad Credit Apartments to be the opposite: a licensed, accountable team with insider knowledge of who actually approves what. We take the time to read your situation honestly and find the right doors.
What makes our approach different
TREC licensed
Real estate agents under a real brokerage — not unlicensed "locators." That means accountability and E&O insurance behind every transaction.
Per-community criteria database
We track actual approval thresholds for hundreds of Austin-area properties — credit, eviction handling, criminal lookback, income proof.
Pre-qualification, not guesswork
Application fees ($50–$150 each) only go to communities where approval is realistic. No more lost money on auto-denials.
Zero judgment
Eviction, broken lease, felony, no credit, cash income — we've seen it, we've solved it, we don't lecture.
