BEFORE YOU APPLY
Know More Before Your Next Application
A listing may not say how its screening rules apply to your record. We check that part for you. Here’s what else to know before you pick where to apply.
Know What Applying Costs
Application fees add up fast. Ask which fees and deposits you can get back, and keep the terms in writing. Texas law requires a refund in some cases, including when you're turned down and the property didn't make its written screening rules available.
What "Case by Case" Really Means
We ask who does the individual review, what documents they take, and whether it happens before or after you pay to apply.
We Check Each Community’s Criteria
Many listings don't show screening criteria. That's our part: we check each community's written rules and tell you where your record fits, before you spend money on an application.
Parole Deadlines Come Fast
Ask your parole officer what approval your new address needs and who has to give it. Get that done before you pay or sign. We can't approve an address for you.
WHAT WE HANDLE
The Record Types We Work With

HOW IT WORKS
Your Apartment Search, Step by Step
Tell Us Your Metro
Start with the metro you want, your budget, bedrooms and move date. Fill out the form or call us.
Sort Out the Screening Questions
We help narrow the search and check each community’s criteria against your record. Criteria can change, and a community won’t always give a clear answer.
Look Over Your Apartment Options
Go through the list we send you and pick the communities you want to follow up on. A suggestion doesn’t mean you qualify, and it doesn’t hold a unit.
Tour and Apply
We help set up tours. Confirm the tour time and every charge with the community. The community handles the application and makes the leasing decision.
Know Your Next Steps Before You Pay to Apply
Tell us what you need in your next home. We’ll walk you through it for free before you spend anything on application fees.

Felon Friendly Apartment FAQs
Is this actually free?
Yes. Our locating service is free to renters. Participating communities may pay our sponsoring brokerage a referral fee. The community sets rent, deposits, application charges and concessions.
How can a licensed real estate service be free to renters?
Participating communities may pay our sponsoring brokerage for a referral when a renter leases. You don’t pay us for locating. Ask the property for its current offer in writing, with every charge listed.
Do I have to tell you what I was charged with?
No. Record details are optional on the form. A general idea of the charge can help us talk through screening criteria, but we don’t need the story behind it or court documents.
What if I already got denied somewhere?
Ask why you were denied and whether a screening report played a part. A wrong report, a property’s own rule and a possible rights issue each need different next steps. One denial doesn’t mean every community will say no.
Which Texas cities do you cover?
We locate apartments in Austin, Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth and San Antonio. Pick a metro page for search tips. Use Local Help to find reentry, housing, food and job programs near you. Ask us if we cover a certain suburb or property.
How fast will you get back to me?
We text you shortly after you send the form. Lists usually go out on weekdays, in one to two business days. After that, how long the search takes depends on your needs and how communities respond. Tell us your deadline so we can talk about next steps. We can’t promise a list or a decision by a set date.
Support beyond the apartment search
