After You File Bankruptcy When Can You Rent Another Apartment Or Home?
When someone files bankruptcy how do they live? Like, how does someone rent again? Is there a time period after you file and it goes through?

You can rent or buy whenever you want…. The problem now is FINDING a place that will rent to you after filing for bankruptcy. As long as you give them 1st and last months payments, some appartments don’t even care
Nikki,
BluLite is correct, you will be able to find an apartment or home to rent. It depends on where you are looking. There really isn’t a time limit. Once the bankruptcy is discharged. You can’t file for another 8 years, ( I believe), and some will look at it that way, but once you do find something, make sure you pay it on time. There are some that run a credit check, and depending on your circumstances, divorce, medical issues, some just don’t care and understand that it’s a part of life and people have mis fortune. Just make sure you can afford it and make the payments on time. Who knows, you may need a reference from them should you move and that’s a good place to start!
Good Luck!
