Second chance apartment locating in Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, Austin and San Antonio

The five metros we cover

Our free locating service covers these five Texas metros. Start with the city you're moving to, and tell us the part of town you want when you reach out.

What we look for in each metro

Send us your rent budget, move-in deadline and where you'd like to live. If credit or rental history is an issue, tell us what's on it. A policy at one property doesn't carry over to the next, even in the same city. We handle every one of these in all five metros, not just one per city:

  • Bad credit, where a risk fee may take the place of a denial
  • Broken leases, paid off or still owed
  • Evictions, including dismissed or older ones
  • Criminal records looked at one at a time
  • Bankruptcy, no credit history, or a need for a guarantor or cosigner

You don't pay us anything. Communities pay the referral fee from their advertising budgets.

Suburbs around each metro

Our search covers the suburbs around each metro too. In DFW that means places like Plano, Frisco, Arlington and McKinney. Around Houston, think The Woodlands, Sugar Land, Katy and Pearland. Near Austin there's Round Rock, Cedar Park and Pflugerville, and near San Antonio, Schertz and New Braunfels.

Name the suburb in your message and we'll search there.

Send us your situation

Were you denied an apartment over bad credit, an eviction, a broken lease, criminal background, bankruptcy, or no credit history? Send us your details. You can write from anywhere in Texas. We’ll usually write back the same day, and your list of communities to look at takes 24 to 48 weekday hours, at no cost to you.
