I have evictions on my record from the same landlord but I paid 2 off successfully and owe one more which I plan to pay the first of the year(2024). I was taking out of work off and on and now receive social security and disability. I had got behind before I was eligible for any of my government benefits. But after physical therapy, injections,and all other medical procedures, I am working a full time job and a part time job and on ticket to work with disability so I still receive it. I'm asking for a second chance and need a place ASAP! My budget is $850 a month more than $900 at the moment. --174.239.xx.xxx

we have no rents less then 1200. Sorry.

If you can do 3X's the rent in dep. Get a co-signer-pay first and last month and show your Credit history has been good the last year and work for the same big company for 5 yrs we could look at your and co-signers applications.

That sounds like more of a third or fourth chance. I wouldn’t rent to you if your landlord so much as filed a suite against you. Behaviors have patterns. --174.193.xx.xxx

Anyone with eviction has used the second chance, beyond that is clearly not responsible. Take a class in finance, I think this begins is 5th grade level, arithmetic is grade 3 level,repeat as needed. As you approach grade 10 a test with civics will be found, Save for you college courses and next vehicle you pay cash for. --184.59.xxx.xx

Not only is the cycle of getting evicted for rent arrears along with completely trashing out rental home or rental unit. If the owe utility bills along with other bills then the eviction cycle is going to continue where would not even consider more chances. Those on social assistance are completely disconnected from reality where they understand how hard people have to work to maintain a rental home or rental complex. Here the Community (rental authority) is housing as a last resort where once evicted then out for life. They start off lying where once in it is another Cinderella story. Even have wait a month or two better off then the drama along with possibility of having a trashed out rental home or rental unit. Had man come around to rental building where he told he and girlfriend where looking for a rental apartment where gave him two rental applications where he holed up in mothers basement where he called a few months later where was still holed up there. It is like a story in movies where the bad people are holed somewhere until things cool down. Most jurisdictions vacancy rates are really low so why go there. --207.236.xxx.xxx

Barbara,

I do give people second chances. If you have a single eviction on your record and you don't owe any previous landlord back rent, I do accept you for my class C places.

It sounds like you had your second chance and still got behind. Where I feel for you and understand how health issues can spin out of control. So after you had a second eviction action filed against you for non-payment........that second chance was thrown away.

Why? It doesn't matter. My banker doesn't want to hear that yesterday I had surgery and can't work today. The federal government is clear on this- Fair Housing Standards apply to everyone. We can't give you a third chance without giving everyone a third chance. Guess what, other folks might not be as honest as you are. How many times is it acceptable to let this slid for you? What ever that number is in your mind, please understand that would you be happy if you were late getting paid government benefits multiple times? Would you let the government slid on next month's payment? If the answer is no then you might understand the position you are placing your landlord in.

Typical gross and net profit positions that landlords have when they are starting out are 22% and 4% according to the website bizstats (dot) com. That means if you have one opppps every other year, the landlord doesn't get paid for either years worth of work.

Perhaps you could ask the landlord to work for two years for free.......that is the position you place them in on multiple times. That would sound fair to me. --24.101.xxx.xxx

Have not had the best of luck with people given a second chance. A lot depends on how things are going for me when they apply.Prefer to have normal non criminal tenants. --24.245.xx.xxx

This is the type of post we see a couple times a year when a tenant wants to vent and they post one time and no more.

No follow through, that is one reason they are tenants. --24.177.xxx.xxx
