Denied for an Apartment in Austin? Here Is Why
Every screening problem has a different solution. We work each one separately.
Credit score below 620 and you keep getting denied
Broken lease from a prior community you owe money to
Eviction filed, granted, or dismissed on record
Misdemeanor or felony on your background check
Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy on credit report
No credit history — recent grad or international worker
Second-Chance Locating for Every Screening Issue
Austin's Fair Chance Housing ordinance limits how eviction and criminal history affect screening - a rule unique to this metro. We track Travis, Williamson, and Hays county JP-court records and know which apartment complexes along I-35 and Mopac approve second-chance renters despite high income requirements.
Bad Credit in Austin
Bad credit apartments in Texas - we match you to communities with flexible screening. Risk-fee and guarantor options. 100% free. Call 800-291-0959.
Bankruptcy in Austin
For renters with a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 on their credit report. Some communities view discharged bankruptcy more favorably than active collections.
Broken Lease in Austin
For renters who left a prior lease early and owe a balance. A broken lease is not the same as an eviction - and many communities treat it differently.
Criminal Background in Austin
For renters with a misdemeanor or felony on record. Criminal screening is separate from credit and rental history - perfect credit won't save you.
Eviction in Austin
For renters with a formal eviction on record - the hardest rental-history issue to overcome, and the one where a locator matters most.
Guarantor & Co-Signer in Austin
For renters whose profile doesn't pass screening and who have no personal co-signer. A guarantor company co-signs the lease for a fee.
No Credit History in Austin
For renters with a thin file or no credit file at all - recent grads, young adults, immigrants, and international workers. No score is often denied like a low score.

Austin Fair Chance Housing and Local Screening
No Credit Check Apartments has 15+ years of experience placing Austin renters who have been denied elsewhere. Austin is the one Texas metro with a Fair Chance Housing ordinance that limits how landlords can use eviction and criminal history in screening. Combined with Travis County JP-court eviction records and Williamson and Hays county screening differences, the area requires a locator who understands both the local rules and the specific apartment complexes, duplexes, and townhomes that approve second-chance applicants.
We know which Round Rock and Cedar Park communities along I-35 offer more affordable options for renters priced out of central Austin near Domain Northside and the South Austin corridor off Mopac. Our familiarity with UT Austin Campus-area properties, East Austin communities near the Capital Metro bus routes, and suburban Pflugerville and Georgetown communities helps us match renters - including international workers and recent graduates - who lack a US credit history.
As of 2026, Austin's income requirements run higher than other Texas metros. Many apartment complexes require 3.5x to 4x monthly rent, and risk-fee communities may set the bar even higher. We confirm you meet the threshold before recommending an application, so you do not spend $50-$75 on a denial.
Send us your situation — screening issue, target rent, target neighborhood — and we will return a matched list of Austin communities within 2-4 business hours. Free.
What Austin Renters Say
"As an international worker with no US credit, every application was a dead end. They matched me with a community that accepted my employer letter and bank statements. Moved in Austin in two weeks."
Priya N.
Austin, TX · No Credit History
"I'd been denied at three complexes and lost almost $200 in application fees before I called. They sent me a list of properties that would actually approve a 540 score. Signed a lease within a week."
Marcus T.
Houston, TX · Bad Credit
"My broken lease from 2021 kept getting me auto-denied. They knew exactly which communities screen through LeasingDesk and would take a paid balance. Nobody else explained it that clearly."

No Credit Check Apartment Questions for Austin
How quickly can I get a property list for Austin? +
Within 2-4 business hours of submitting your situation. We cover Travis, Williamson, and Hays counties - Round Rock, Pflugerville, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Kyle, Buda, and Manor, in addition to central Austin properties. Most renters receive a matched list the same day.
Do you cover Round Rock, Cedar Park, and other suburban communities? +
Yes. We cover the full Central Texas metro including Williamson County (Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Leander) and Hays County (Kyle, Buda). Many renters find approval more accessible in suburbs where rents are lower and income thresholds are easier to meet.
What does Austin's Fair Chance Housing ordinance protect? +
The ordinance requires covered landlords to evaluate criminal records using an individualized assessment rather than blanket denials. It limits how far back landlords can look for certain offense categories. It does not cover eviction history or credit - those are governed by standard screening through NCAC and LeasingDesk. We know which Austin communities are covered and how the ordinance applies to your situation.
What income do I need for an Austin apartment with bad credit? +
As of 2026, most Austin communities require 3x to 4x monthly rent in gross income. Risk-fee apartment complexes may require 4x rent or more. If your income does not reach the threshold for central Austin properties near Domain Northside or South Austin, we match you to communities in Round Rock or Pflugerville where rent-to-income requirements are lower.
Where can I find no credit check apartments near me in Austin? +
We match renters across the Austin metro - from East Austin and South Austin to Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, and Georgetown. Tell us your screening issue and target neighborhood, and we return a matched property list within 2-4 business hours. There is no cost and no credit pull.
