Step 1 of 6

Where are you looking?

This never removes a property from your results. It only decides what we show you first.

City or area

Are you looking for 55+ or 62+ senior housing?

Answering yes adds senior buildings to your list. It never takes away regular housing.

No Yes, someone in the household is 55 to 61 Yes, someone in the household is 62 or older

Income

Most landlords set a minimum income. We check yours against each property's actual rule.

Household income before taxes, per month

Everything that comes in: wages, benefits, child support, SSI, all of it.

How many people will live there?

Do you have a housing voucher?

Section 8, Housing Choice, Housing Support, VASH, or a similar program.

Yes No

Credit

Credit is the barrier landlords hide most often. Very few publish a number, so what matters most is which of these describes you.

Which one sounds like your credit? It is in decent shapeNo collections, no judgments, bills mostly paid on time I have very little credit historyFew or no accounts, so there is not much to look at I have no credit history at allNever had a credit card, loan, or account in my name My credit is damagedCollections, judgments, charge-offs, or a bankruptcy I am not sureWe will treat it as damaged, so nothing on your list is a surprise

Do you know your credit score?

Only about 1 property in 100 states a number. If yours does, this decides it. A guess is worse than "no" here.

No, or I would only be guessing Yes

Your score

Rental history

Has a landlord ever filed an eviction against you?

If it was dismissed, expunged, or you won, answer no.

No Yes

When was the most recent one?

Many landlords only look back a set number of years. The date is often the whole answer.

Do you owe money to a past landlord? No I did, and it is paid off Yes, and I am on a payment planSome landlords accept a plan, and we know which ones Yes, and it is still owed I am not sure

Roughly how much?

A few more

Do you have a criminal record?

An arrest with no conviction, a dismissed case, or an expunged case: answer no.

No Yes

The most serious one When was the conviction?

Minneapolis and Saint Paul cap how far back a landlord may look. Age can clear a record on its own.

Will you have a pet? No Yes

What kind?

A service or support animal is not a pet under fair housing law. We still ask so your list is accurate.

Where should we send it?

Your count is free and shows on the next screen.

First name

Two last questions. Some landlords say yes to a renter they would otherwise turn down, if one of these is true. We use them to tell you which.

Could you get a cosigner? Yes Maybe No

Could you put down a larger deposit? Yes Maybe No
