We are relocating to the Houston area for my fiancées job. We are looking for a 3-4bdrm/2bth house or townhome that will be available within 2 weeks. We have 3 boys, so a good school district is important. Due to a past eviction we are willing to pay a higher deposit, and write letters. Our max budget is 1600. He will be working in Tomball so areas relatively close to there are ideal.

if you are still looking for a Realtor to work with, I would be happy to help you and your family with finding the home you need. Give me a call if you would like my help, as there are a few different areas that are close to Tomball. If you have already started working with another Realtor, welcome to the Houston area.

My husband and I currently live in second ward on saltus street. We are needing a better more stable rental. Our current landlord has been trying to illegally evict us since January and has not repaired our pipes after the winter storm. It’s an incredibly messy situation \nI’m starting school on May 27 to train to be an emt and will be working in that field by September. Currently, due to the pandemic my husband and I are receiving unemployment for our income, and between the two of us that amounts to $4000 per month. Additionally, we are about to receive a fairly large settlement and would be able and willing to pay a higher deposit or even prepay some or all of the months of the lease term. \nI have an eviction that was paid in full and dismissed and another that I’m currently disputing. Credit is between 640-723 depending on bureau.

Hello, I am so sorry that you are going through this. Your credit scores are good, and I have noticed many landlords or requesting check stubs, not sure if unemployment would be considered as income. The evictions are still on your record even if they are old and this gives landlords reason for concern. This may be a reason that some landlords may ask for up to double the deposit or just not approve your application.
