Hello Everyone, I have one client out of state and he is moving to the United States for the first time. And he wants to rent a house, however, before renting it out the owner required rental history, bank statements and etc. So what would you do if you are in the same situations?. There was one owner and I told her that my client will add extra Security deposit, but she insist, I need a bank statement as well from any bank in America.

Hey Habib!Your question raises an important point, but I must acknowledge it's a challenging situation. Landlords and their agents prioritize risk management, and without the ability to verify background and rental history, they face significant uncertainties. Typically, potential tenants are required to submit a valid ID (often a passport) along with proof of income to support monthly rent payments, such as an offer letter from a future employer.However, it's essential to be prepared for skepticism and potential rejections due to these limitations. In the short term, it might be easier to explore options for assisting your family in finding an apartment until their circumstances allow for a smoother rental process. I would maybe consider a higher-than-normal security deposit or a zoom/facetime call to the listing agent and owners. Best of luck!

I’m a veteran and full time employed, stable government job since 2021, income has reached 9k/month this year credit score 580. I’m currently working on my credit as it was much lower during the pandemic. I have an eviction from 2018 and good rental history since then. I am willing to pay an additional deposit of 2-3 times the rent or use a lease guarantor service like leap easy or insurer…but how do I find land lords that are willing to work with me?

Yes, I had a client last time and he had the same situation, however, I was able to help him rent it out with an extra security deposit. Before the landlord asks for a background check fee. I first explain the situation to the listing agent and let them decide whether they will accept my client in that current situation, if they accept them then we proceed with an application fee. Long-term lease & extra deposit are the keys in that situation. Furthermore, your bank beginning & ending balance as well. If you have enough in your bank that should be enough as well. We were able to rent at one point through the bank balance which was stable for a few months. And the landlord accepted him. Allow me to help you find a reasonable one that meets your standards.

Landlord wants listing agent to run credit report and background report on applicant. Who do you use to do this and who does applicant pay for this?
