Denied in Garland? Here Is What Screening Flagged
Every screening problem has a different solution. We work each one separately.
Credit score below 620 and you keep getting denied

Eviction filed, granted, or dismissed on record
Misdemeanor or felony on your background check
Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy on credit report

Bad Credit, Evictions, Felonies: 7 Screening Issues We Solve
Dallas County JP-court eviction reporting, a large garden-style, townhome, and mid-rise rental base northeast of Dallas, and the Firewheel, Duck Creek, and Downtown Garland corridors screened through NCAC, RealPage LeasingDesk, and TransUnion SmartMove.
Bad Credit in Garland
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 Garland
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 Garland
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 Garland
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 Garland
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 Garland
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 Garland
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.

Second-Chance Apartments From Firewheel to Lake Ray Hubbard
No Credit Check Apartments is a TREC-licensed apartment locating service (Broker #9006179, Intell Realty LLC) that places Garland, TX renters who have bad credit, evictions, broken leases, bankruptcies, or criminal records. Our agents have 15+ years of relationships with Garland property managers who use flexible screening, and the service is 100% free because communities pay the referral fee. Garland is the third largest city in Dallas County, and its rental market runs from newer communities around Firewheel Town Center to 1970s and 1980s garden-style complexes, duplexes, and townhome rentals in South Garland, along Jupiter Road, and off SH-78.
Most of Garland sits in Dallas County, so most evictions are filed in Dallas County Justice of the Peace courts, while small edges of the city fall in Collin and Rockwall counties. No Credit Check Apartments locators track which Garland communities screen through NCAC versus RealPage LeasingDesk or TransUnion SmartMove. That screening-level knowledge decides whether your application ends in a $200-$500 risk fee (2026 rates) or a wasted $50-$75 denial. Many communities here price below Plano and central Dallas, so we focus on properties that weigh income and rental history over a hard credit cutoff, or that accept guarantors like TheGuarantors, Insurent, and Jetty.
Renters who commute along I-635 or the President George Bush Turnpike often look at North Garland, the Spring Creek Forest Preserve area, and Richardson, while those wanting lower rents search South Garland, Duck Creek, Mesquite, and East Garland. The DART Blue Line, with stops at Downtown Garland Station and Forest/Jupiter Station, suits renters without a car, and the Granville Arts Center and Downtown Garland square offers older, more flexible communities. Toward Lake Ray Hubbard, Rowlett and Sachse add suburban options. We return a matched property list within 2-4 business hours.
Send us your situation — screening issue, target rent, target neighborhood — and we will return a matched list of Garland communities within 2-4 business hours. Free.
What Garland Renters Say
"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 Apartments Garland: Your Questions Answered
How quickly can I get a matched property list for Garland? +
No Credit Check Apartments returns a matched Garland property list within 2-4 business hours, Monday to Friday 9am-6pm and Saturday 10am-4pm. The list covers communities in Downtown Garland, Firewheel, North Garland, South Garland, Duck Creek, Rowlett, and Sachse that fit your screening issue and budget.
Can I get an apartment in Garland with a 500 credit score? +
Often, yes. Most Garland property managers set credit minimums between 550 and 620, but some communities have no hard cutoff and offer conditional approval with a one-time risk fee of $200 to $500 (2026 rates). If your score is the only issue, with no eviction or criminal record, a third-party guarantor such as TheGuarantors or Insurent is another route.
Do apartments near Firewheel Town Center accept risk fees for bad credit? +
Some do. A few newer communities near Firewheel Town Center offer conditional approval with a one-time risk fee for challenged credit. If those rents run above your income, we match you to comparable garden-style communities in South Garland, Duck Creek, or Mesquite with more flexible screening.
Can you find apartments near the DART Blue Line in Garland? +
Yes. We match renters to Garland communities within reach of Downtown Garland Station and Forest/Jupiter Station on the DART Blue Line, which runs to Downtown Dallas. Tell us your screening issue and we check which of those communities have a realistic approval path.
How do Dallas County eviction records affect a Garland application? +
Texas evictions are filed in Justice of the Peace courts, and most Garland addresses fall under Dallas County JP courts. Screening companies like NCAC and RealPage LeasingDesk aggregate those filings, but not every community subscribes to the same database. A dismissed eviction is much easier to place than a granted one, and many Garland communities accept evictions older than 3 years with a risk fee of $300 to $1,000 or more.
Can I rent in Garland with a broken lease but no eviction? +
Yes, and it is easier than renting with an eviction. A broken lease means you left early and owe a balance, while an eviction means the landlord went to court. Some Garland communities approve broken leases that are paid off or 2-3+ years old, so getting a zero-balance letter from your former landlord often opens more options.
What income is typically needed for second-chance apartments in Garland? +
As of 2026, most Garland communities require 3x monthly rent in gross income. Risk-fee properties often set the bar at 3.5x to 4x rent. Rents in South Garland and East Garland generally run lower than in North Garland, which makes the threshold easier to meet.
Does an apartment locator in Garland cost anything? +
No. Our search is 100% free to renters because the apartment community pays a referral fee when you sign a lease. Agents work within your stated budget, since a unit you cannot afford never leads to a signed lease.
Where can I find no credit check apartments near me in Garland? +
We match renters across the whole city, from Downtown Garland and Firewheel to North Garland, South Garland, East Garland, Rowlett, Sachse, Mesquite, and Richardson. Tell us your screening issue and target neighborhood, and we return a matched property list within 2-4 business hours. No cost and no credit pull.
