Does bankruptcy disqualify me from renting?
Bankruptcy does not necessarily disqualify you from renting a property. It often depends on the specific property and the Owner’s criteria. Owner’s typically consider various factors, including your credit history, income, rental references, and the reason for your bankruptcy. While a bankruptcy might make the process more challenging, demonstrating financial stability can help improve your chances.
