Hello,

Me and finance moved from WI to Oklahoma City 2 years ago. We have been renting since we arrived. We have a good rental history but both of us have a bankruptcy that goes back 4-5 years. We have offered to pay an extra month's rent and we even have a recommendation letter from our current landlord but all of the realty agency's here base everything solely on credit history and nothing else. Together we bring over 4200.00 bucks home a month and we can't understand why it's so difficult to find a place to rent here. If anyone knows a rental agency or a landlord that's willing to work with people with previous credit issues in the Oklahoma city area please let me know. Also if anyone has any advice for us please let us know. We are desperate at this point.

This is just a guess, but I think with credit being so difficult to obtain now, potential landlords may be reluctant to rent to unmarried couples. I have dealt with the renting market, and if the couple breaks up some landlords have been stuck with neither party willing to continue the lease. In the case of a married couple, that is usually worked out in the divorce courts.

I know this sounds discriminatory, but unless you can prove it -- and with credit hard to obtain today anyway -- they can continue to use your credit history to deny you the rental.

Colleen I think you are right, add to this a bankruptcy everyone is going to start viewing things in a different light.

Thank you both very much, I never looked at it that way but it makes a lot of sense.

Well, Iam trying to help my daughter (32 years old) to rebuild her life and get her daughter back. She is out of rehab, just got a job, a car, and now needs a house. I am going to live with her...unforunantly my credit is not good. I am a nurse and I work full time. Need to find a house so that she can work on getting her daughter back. Please help me. The person (an old friend of hers) was going to rent her a house, so my daughter gave up her place at the sober living place that the rehab was helping her get into. Now, the old friend has apparently changed her mind. This is a hard thing to be going through straight out of rehab. Somebody please help me to help her!!! Need a house in okc .
