Many homeowners are surprised to find foreclosure affects renting just as much as buying. Landlords often check credit reports — but you can still secure housing.
Tips to Strengthen Rental Applications
-
Offer a larger security deposit to demonstrate reliability.
-
Provide income proof and references from previous landlords.
-
Write a personal explanation letter — honesty builds trust.
-
Seek private landlords who focus on income, not credit history.
Housing after foreclosure is achievable — persistence and transparency make all the difference.
