FELONS: Some apartments really don't understand D.A.s

DA - it doesn't mean anything to 99% of Apartment Leasing Agents

In fact, I don't know if the words "Deferred Adjudication" means anything to most of them either. You can have a DA for a Felony or for a Misdemeanor.

I think most leasing agents are just taught "we don't take felonies". The good news is I have the leasing criteria for most apartment complexes and I know the ones that will take a deffered felony (or D.A. or Deferred Adjudication for a Felony.

And I know the ones that won't. I also know the ones with a little wiggle room. I never have the "wiggle room" conversations with anyone but the manager. And you shouldn't either.

In fact, let me locate your next apartment in Houston, Dallas, Ft. Worth, Austin, San Antonio or any of the nearby cities. It's a FREE service (the apartments pay me) and I specialize in helping families with a DA or Felony or Misdemeanor.

FELONS: DA ads produce BIG Results

FELONS: Felon business picking up

It has been only 2 months since I expanded my business past Houston metro

I have now placed former felons in Ft. Worth, Garland, North Dallas, Eustis, San Antonio, Austin, Irving, and the surrounding areas.

Business is good and my customer's are happy. I will forever be tweaking my database to insure I have the latest policies and that my customers are thrilled with my service.

Some people are "unplaceable" due to their prior convictions, for example it is much harder to place someone who must live in a certain area if no apartments will accept that crime and timeframe in the area the client wants to reside. Some apartments will not take felony convictions but will only take deferred felonies; that is why my web form asks the questions it does.

FELONS: Pick My Brain 4 - No Sex Crimes please

PICK MY BRAIN SERIES, NUMBER 4: NO REGISTERED SEX OFFENDERS

I work tirelessly for my clients but I'm not a miracle worker. If you are a Sex Offender who has to register, I can't help you.

If I did manage to get you in an apartment, as soon as the residents knew you were there they will start to lobby the management to get you evicted. I've seen it happen.

My best advice is for you to rent from a private party, a home, a condo, or Garage apartment. You can check out your city's Realtor website (like HAR.COM in Houston) or Craigslist.org.

I can't help you.

DALLAS: 20 More DA friendly apartments added to my database

I've found more than 20 new D.A. Apartments in the DFW Metroplex

I've been busy. In the past four weeks I've added over 20 new apartment complexes to my database JUST IN THE DFW METROPLEX that take Deferred Adjudications - called by some as Deferred Felonies.

I won't rest until I've called all the complexes in the area. But I can say now that I have apartments in every price range for people with deferred adjudications.

FELONS: Tired of complexes saying NO WAY to D.A.

Tired of being Painted with the "Felony" brush

"Felony D.A. – no way"! Ready to do something about it?

Deferred Adjudication for a felony isn’t a conviction but most apartment complexes treat it as a Felony conviction.

Good news is I keep lists of apartments and townhomes that will work with most Deferred Felonies (these are apartments and townhomes that won’t take most felony convictions but they are smart enough to realize your DA isn’t a conviction).

Most of these complexes know that sometimes you can't afford the lawyer and time (or take the risk that you would be convicted).

The good news is I can help and my help is FREE.

HOUSTON: What's wrong with our Laws

What is wrong with Houston?

Don't get me wrong, I love Houston but it is a very unforgiving city as far as certain laws and apartments are concerned.

I just heard that homeless people, who often can't afford to pay for a lunch or a candy bar are denied the use of restrooms in shops. While I understand this, the lack of public restrooms creates a problem:

Public Urination

Don't get me wrong, I'm not for this, but if someone is discrete, I don't think they should be charged WITH A SEX CRIME. And that is what's going on. There is a big difference between "having to go" and exposing one's self to others. And once someone is "hit" with a sex crimes, you can forget about many jobs, apartments, etc. I don't know how anyone could climb back into society from this designation. And as a taxpayer of Texas, I want these homeless people back in society earning a living and paying taxes.

I just don't understand it.

FELONS: Don't expect miracles

I know you want to move, but you can't expect miracles

What do I mean you can't expect miracles? It means:

1. You may not be able to live in the part of town you want. Apartments that accept felons are not everywhere
2. You may not be able to pay exactly what you want - maybe $50 to $100 a month more then you would like
3. The apartment complex will probably be older - not new and up-to-date
4. You probably won't get a special
5. You may have a larger deposit
6. If you have a Broken Lease or an Eviction, it will limit your choices even more (and probably increase your deposit too)
7. If you have a violent felony or multiple felonies, you will be very limited in your choices
8. If you have a serious Misdemeanor (like assault) coupled with your felony, it is difficult to place you.
   

Your prior life will have its consequences in your present housing. The good thing is that every year that passes since your conviction, will give you more housing choices.

I want to be there to help you at every step along the way. Let's get started today. Fill out my FIND A TX APT FOR ME form by clicking on the link.

GENERAL INFORMATION: Section 8 and Felonies don't mix

Section 8 and Felonies of any type don't mix

I had a client today, a veteran, that accepted a Deferred Adjudication for a marijuana felony almost 18 years ago. I started looking for places he would "spend" his Section 8 voucher. I called 20 places. Only 2 would accept him.

People will tell you the DA is a better solution and it doesn't carry the stigma of a Felony conviction. Well in the apartment leasing world - that's not true. I think it stinks.

But at least I was able to help this vet out.

FELONS: DWI Felony Surprise

I had a client tell me a she heard her DWI Felony would be accepted at "Most Complexes"

So I called every complex in the area she wanted to live. Only one-fourth, or 25% of the complexes would accept her. Most had a "No Felony" rule. Some said she could apply after 5, 6, or 7 years. One said "she can live there in 10 years:.

Only 3 will even talk to her now. Is it fair? Maybe not, but it is factual. ANY TYPE OF FELONY WILL HURT YOUR CHANCES OF GETTING AN APARTMENT. Some misdemeanors, like assault, will as well.

If you have a misdemeanor, a deferred felony (deferred adjudication for a felony offense), or a felony, you need the help of a trained locator who specializes in helping felons.

Someone like me.
