Plenty of its rentals are older garden style complexes, duplexes and townhomes off SH-78 and Jupiter Road. Newer communities are easier to find up north near Firewheel Town Center and the Bush Turnpike. A lower score or an old eviction sometimes gets a second look at the older properties. Some ask for a risk fee or a larger deposit. Others accept a guarantor company such as TheGuarantors or OneApp. We look up each community's criteria before it goes on your list. Two DART Blue Line stations sit in Garland: Downtown Garland and Forest/Jupiter. The line runs into Dallas, so a community near either stop can work without a car. Most past evictions here show up in [Dallas County court records](https://courtsportal.dallascounty.org/DALLASPROD/). When Garland comes up short, we look in Mesquite, Rowlett and Richardson. Send us three things: your screening issue, target rent, and target neighborhood. We'll write back with Garland communities to look at, free. Weekend messages most likely get a reply on Monday. ## Neighborhoods and suburbs we cover [Mesquite → Dallas County](/mesquite/) Downtown Garland Dallas County Firewheel Dallas County Rowlett Dallas and Rockwall counties Sachse Dallas and Collin counties Richardson Dallas and Collin counties Wylie Collin, Dallas and Rockwall counties Rockwall Rockwall County Murphy Collin County Don't see your part of Garland?

The list follows within 24 to 48 weekday hours. Weekend messages most likely get answered Monday. Are there Garland apartments near the DART Blue Line for renters with bad credit? + Some communities near the Downtown Garland and Forest/Jupiter stations may consider weak credit, often with a risk fee. Tell us your issue and we'll check which ones have criteria that may fit. Is a broken lease treated like an eviction in Garland? + No. A broken lease means you left early and may owe a balance. An eviction means the landlord went to court. Some communities here take a paid off broken lease, and a zero balance letter helps. Which court handles Garland evictions? + For most Garland addresses, a Dallas County Justice of the Peace court. A few edges of the city fall in Collin or Rockwall County. A dismissed filing can still appear on a screening report. How much do I need to earn for a Garland apartment? + About 3x the monthly rent in gross income is the usual bar as of 2026. A risk fee community usually wants 2.5x to 3x. Lower rent means a lower income target, so we keep your budget in view. Can I rent in Garland with a misdemeanor or felony? + Some communities may. The type of offense and how long ago it happened both matter. Criminal screening runs apart from credit, so good credit won't cover a record. We check each property's background policy first. What does your Garland search cost? + Nothing. It's free to renters, and the community pays our referral fee when a renter we referred signs a lease. ## Nearby areas we serve [### Dallas Dallas County](/dallas/) [### Mesquite Dallas County](/mesquite/) [### Plano Collin County](/plano/) ## Start Your Free Search Now Send us your situation.
