Looking for Rental Housing with previous Eviction..

mom0fsweety started this conversation
Jan 21, 2009

Hi, I'm a mom in Illinois with one daughter and 1 small, quiet cat. I'm looking for a place to rent, apartment, duplex, home etc. but am having a hard time due to an eviction 4 years ago. I'm separating & divorcing my husband; he sadly had problems with alcoholism which led to defaulting on rental payments in the past -- that's what led to our eviction. His issues unfortunately damaged my credit and rental history.

I'm now looking for a place for my daughter & I to move into. I work in transcription and am also a college student working on my BA. I'm clean, responsible, quiet, nondrinker, nonsmoker. If an apartment complex would allow us to rent, I can have my father co-sign (he's a university Professor). Otherwise he's willing to pay all monthly rent so I would consider him as an additional income. I have utilities in my name, they're up to date and I can transfer them.

Just looking for a clean, safe rental and a landlord willing to help us find that place! I can pay a higher security deposit, first and last months' rent. I would like to show you I'm a serious and responsible tenant! Please contact me if you could be of an assistance and thank you in advance for your time and consideration!

DID YOU FIND ANYTHING?

A COUNTY HOMELESS PREVENTION AGENCY SHOULD BE ABLE TO HELP. THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO SHOW SUPPORT AS YOU ARE NOT PART OF ENABLING THE ALCOHOLISM AND BAD ACTS ANYMORE.

NOW THAT YOU HAVE FORMAL DIVORCE PAPERS in process LANDLORDS MAY TRUST IT WILL STAY THIS WAY. 

IF YOUR DAD WILL COSIGN MAYBE HE CAN APPLY BE ACCEPTED RENT THE PLACE AND THEN  YOU ARE ADDED AS THE ROOMATES. IT WOULD BE HARD FOR THEM TO JUSTIFY A TURN DOWN ONCE THEY ACCEPT HIM!

 IVE BEEN HOMELESS MULIT DISaBLED 8 YEARS JUST GOT A PLACE NBUT NO$ LEFT FOR  FOOD THIS MONTH AND MORE STILL .TO DEAL WITH... IM SITTING IN STARBUCKS ALL DAY STILL TO  SAVE ON HEAT AND GET WIFI ACCESS.

ITS MEAN OUT THERE . Lots of times you need to go through a transitional shelter program to get the agency help. It's not nice in most of those programs..but considering nothing is really free rule... for that  "price" they should help get you to where you want to go.  

also being an active  pArt of ACA OR AL-ANON  or therapy -SHOWING YOUR  working hard to permanently turn around  THE THE DISASTER THAT WAS IN YOUR PAST so as not tot be repeated may HELP.

MORE PROOF ...... SUBSTANCE ABUSE RUINS MANY LIVES..........

I HOPE U R INVOLVED WITH  OBAMA FOR AMERICA AND CHANGE .ORG AND THE LOCAL DEMOCRAT GROUPS WHO NEED SUPPORT  IN ORDER TO STOP GOP CUTS TO SUPPORTS THAT ARE  HELPING PEOPLE LIKE YOU.

BEST OF LUCK.
