Yes. The service is 100% free to you. We're paid a commission by the apartment community after you move in, so you never pay us a fee — and legitimate Texas locating is always commission-based, never upfront. How fast will I get my list of apartments? Most renters receive a curated, customized list within 24-48 hours of submitting their situation. The list is valid for 30 days, and we'll revise it by phone if you need more options. How does the $50 cash rebate work? After you sign a lease and move in, you receive a $50 cash rebate — as long as you list Austin Second Chance Apartments as your referral on the guest card and lease application. Submit the rebate request form once you've moved in. Can I rent an apartment in Austin with an eviction? Often yes. Austin communities typically work with evictions over one year old, with limited options under a year. Outstanding property debt reduces how many will accept you, and most require income of 2.5x–3x the rent plus a third-party guarantor. What income do I need to qualify? Most second-chance communities require gross monthly income of 2.5x to 3x the monthly rent. If your income is borderline, a third-party guarantor or co-sign service (usually about one month's rent) can offset the risk and unlock approval. Do you work with felonies and misdemeanors? Yes. We focus on non-violent offenses and use the Texas 7-year background lookback to target communities that screen case by case. We handle felonies both over and under seven years, misdemeanors, and deferred adjudication.
