GENERAL INFORMATION: Don't give up finding a great place

Had the Ex call me when his ex-wife couldn't

find a "decent" place because of her Felony

The client was presented by their previous locator with one option, and not a very attractive one. She had been accepted there but her Ex said he didn't feel this apartment was "safe". 

That's why he called me.

Within a day, I identified several places that they could visit. One of them was nice, convienent, and priced right.  The management told me they couldn't pre-qualify and the manager placed the odds of acceptance at 50%.

But I had dealt with this firm before on very similar cases and my clients HAD been accepted there. I told my client that it was a 50/50 shot but I advised him to go see it with his Ex and apply.

Sometimes, just letting a complex meet and talk to you makes a real difference. Especially when you can "humanize" your legal difficulties and explain what happened.  Let the complexes see that "you may have a conviction, but you aren't a bad person".

The morale of the story - don't settle for an apartment that you don't feel safe in. You have options. You just need an apartment locating specialist, after all this is all I do -- help people who have convictions (felonies, deferred adjudications, and misdemeanors) find Texas apartments in Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio, and Austin.
