Houston is big, so second chance options here cover a wide range. They run from garden apartments along Beltway 8 to mid rise communities near the Texas Medical Center. And you’ll find gated complexes in Katy and Sugar Land. We're the No Credit Check Apartment Team, brokered by Spirit Real Estate Group, LLC (TREC #562021). We keep up with how communities here treat evictions from each county’s JP courts. Knowing which screening company a community uses can be the difference between a one time risk fee and a wasted $50 to $75 denial. Out in Pearland, Missouri City, and Clear Lake, some suburban communities are less strict about screening. Some of them rent for less than places in Midtown or around the Houston Galleria. Up I-45 north, some communities in The Woodlands, Spring, and Conroe may offer conditional approval. We cover Cypress, Humble, League City, Pasadena, Baytown, and the Energy Corridor too. Pick a part of Houston, a rent target and the screening issue you're dealing with, then send them our way. We'll come back with communities to look at, free. Messages sent on a weekend most likely get answered Monday. ## Neighborhoods and suburbs we cover Medical Center Harris County Sugar Land Fort Bend County Katy Harris and Fort Bend counties Pearland Brazoria County The Woodlands Montgomery County Spring Harris County Missouri City Fort Bend County Pasadena Harris County Baytown Harris County Clear Lake Harris County Cypress Harris County Humble Harris County Conroe Montgomery County League City Galveston County Don't see your target neighborhood?

Highways: Beltway 8 (Sam Houston Tollway), I-10, I-45, I-69 Transit: METRORail, Park and Ride network ## Houston No Credit Check Apartment FAQ How long until I get a property list for the Houston metro? + We usually answer the same day, and your list takes 24 to 48 weekday hours. We cover Harris, Fort Bend, and Montgomery counties, plus Pearland in Brazoria County and League City in Galveston County. That includes Sugar Land, Katy, Cypress, Spring, Humble, Conroe, Missouri City, Pasadena, Baytown, and Clear Lake. Do you cover communities in Sugar Land, Katy, and The Woodlands? + Yes. We cover all of Harris County plus suburban communities in Fort Bend County (Sugar Land, Missouri City, part of Katy) and Montgomery County (The Woodlands and Conroe). How do eviction records differ between Harris, Fort Bend, and Montgomery counties? + Each Texas county keeps its own eviction records from its Justice of the Peace courts. Screening companies like RealPage LeasingDesk and TransUnion SmartMove collect those county records, but not every community uses the same company. So the same eviction can count differently from one community to the next. What income do second chance communities in Houston usually require? + Expect 3x the monthly rent in gross income at most Houston communities (as of 2026), and 3.5x to 4x at many risk fee properties. Some Katy and Pearland communities rent for less than Inner Loop properties, so the income bar can be easier to clear there. Are there second chance communities near the Texas Medical Center? + We can point you to some. Some communities near the Medical Center and in Midtown may take a risk fee for credit or rental history issues. Approval is still up to each property. If Inner Loop properties don't fit, we can look at Pearland, south of the Medical Center, or Sugar Land to the southwest. Where can I find no credit check apartments near me in Houston? + We cover everything from Midtown and the Medical Center out to Sugar Land, Katy, Cypress, Pearland, League City, The Woodlands, Conroe, Spring, Humble, Missouri City, Pasadena, Baytown, and Clear Lake.
