Can you rent housing with no credit check?

Renting a house or apartment with no credit check is possible; tips include renting from private owners as opposed to large complexes and showing steady income, according to About.com. Tenants should look for private listings through online sites such as Craigslist.org and by looking for rental signs in specific areas.

Renting a property without undergoing a credit check often results in higher upfront fees, such as a higher security deposit or up to three months' rent, explains About.com. Paystubs from the past two to three months tend to be sufficient to prove stable income, and earning three to four times the amount of the monthly rent bolsters a person's chances of getting a place.
