GENERAL INFORMATION: Biggest Myth in finding Felony Apartments

There is NO SUCH THING as an Apartment for All Felons

I get one or two line e-mails all the time asking me to send a list of apartments in an area of town that will rent to felons.

It doesn't work that way.

Apartments have rules, even the ones that rent to felons have rules. The rules are usually by "crime and time". In other words, they have rules based on the type of felony and how long it has been since either the commission of the crime or date of conviction before they will take a felon.

If you have a sexual felony - forget about it. If you have a violent felony, there will be few choices. Same with a manufacturing or delivery felony. If you felony was 2 years ago, there will be fewer choices than if it was 12 years ago or 8 years ago.

Crime and Time is the rule.
