Find Texas Apartments That Accept Multiple Convictions
Searching for a Texas apartment with multiple convictions? Tell us about your move, budget and record. We check how each community's written criteria count every case. Then we send you a list of communities to look at. Our help is free to renters.
What You Get
- A plain read on how more than one case changes screening
- A list of communities whose written criteria fit your history
- Help sorting how dates and offense types count
- Free help from our team in five Texas metros
One case at a time
For your own notes, list each case number, the offense, how it ended and the dates that matter. Several counts in one case, separate incidents and duplicate entries on a report aren't the same thing. We check how each community's rule counts them.
What the total doesn't tell you
Your case count alone won't tell you your odds, and neither will the date of your newest case. We look at how each property defines cases, which time rules it uses and how its review works.
Before you apply again
- Clear up duplicate or incomplete entries with the company that made the report.
- Let us check if the property has a separate rule for more than one case.
- We find out which documents the review needs. Confirm any extra fee with the property.
- Check income, rental history and total move-in costs.
Use the case worksheet and review questions for more than one record. A community on your list still makes its own call on review and approval. To start, send your metro, budget and move date. You don't need court documents for our form.
What we look at in your record
- Each case: the offense class, the dates and how it ended
- The date of your most recent case
- If the cases are the same type or different types
- Any papers that show you finished a program or sentence
Many policies use time windows, often called lookback periods, that differ by offense type. A case outside the window may count differently than a recent one. We check where each community draws that line.

Questions About This Record Type
Are multiple convictions a hard stop?
Not always. Some policies screen out a pattern of cases. Others look at the dates and offense types. We check each community's rule against your record.
Does the date of the last offense matter more than the count?
Often it does. Many rules use time windows, so a history that ended years ago can read very differently from a recent one. The exact rule varies by community.
Do different offense types count against me more than repeats?
Each community has its own rule. Some rules count each offense type on its own. Others look at repeats of the same type. We check how each community's rule treats your mix of cases.
What papers help?
Proof you finished each sentence, a steady work history and reference letters can help at communities that review each case. Automated screening may not look at them. We find out which papers each review needs.
How much does your help cost?
Nothing. Our locating service is free to renters. Participating communities may pay our sponsoring brokerage a referral fee. Each community sets its own rent and fees.
