I am looking at renting property , i have been told that i need references to let the property ? what type are they and what are the chances of getting turned down ?
The house that i am looking at , there were people wanting it before me but there references got turned down and i am now starting to think if i might get turned down too !! help please !!
yes i have rented a few houses and never missed a payment . I have a good bank account , but im self employed and i dont have the best credit history . not bad but not great !! “fair” i would say

I just faxed an application to a property managment company to apply for a lease on a new home. I am relocating to a new area for the campany I work for and need to find a new place to rent. My concern is that my credit history is very poor and I will not get approved to move into this new house. Although my credit is poor, I am paying on everything on time at the moment and my credit has begun to go back up but is still not good. If my application is denied, is there anything I can do to persuade them to allow me to move in and sign the lease for the property? Money is not an issue and I can even put down a little more than they are asking for with regards to the security deposit or pay 2-3 months worth of rent up front. Would this make a difference? Is there anything I can do?
