Renting after more than one eviction in Texas? Write down each case on its own: the dates, how it ended, and any balance the landlord says you owe. Let us check the property’s criteria before you apply. A clear summary helps us match you faster. The property still makes the call.

## The short answer

It’s harder, but a small group of Texas communities will still look at an application with more than one eviction. Expect a high income bar, often 3x to 4x the monthly rent, and a bigger risk fee than a credit problem brings. Start by gathering proof that any old balances are paid.

We’re the No Credit Check Apartment Team, a licensed real estate team brokered by Spirit Real Estate Group, LLC (TREC #562021). Between us we have more than 20 years in real estate, working with property managers across Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, Austin and San Antonio. We point renters with credit, eviction and record problems to communities whose criteria may fit them, and each property makes its own rental decision.

## What that means for you

A small group of communities will still look at your application, usually with a high income bar.

Expect a short list of options and a bigger risk fee than you'd pay for a credit problem.

## How Texas communities handle it

Texas property managers screen through a handful of companies, including TransUnion SmartMove, RealPage LeasingDesk, and AppFolio. Some check rent payment data from Experian RentBureau, and old apartment balances often show up through collection agencies like NCAC. Each one pulls up different information, and each management company reads it differently.

A denied application usually costs $50 to $75, and those fees stack up fast when you apply without knowing how a property screens.
