How do you find a place to live if you have been evicted?
If you were recently evicted and cannot rent in anyone elses name how do you find a place to live?

A lot of the time if you find a person to rent from rather then a company or apartment complex. I think that individual people that rent to people don't do as an extensive check as a complex would do. Also, if you were evicted, that means you probably owe the people $ where you were evicted from and that is going to look negatively on your rental history- so you might want to be sure to pay that off and stay with family or friends until you can do that.

I don't know from where you r speaking from, but from what i known you shouldn't be evicted without a court order, whereby a Bailiff is instructed to come down and lock your door, and issue you with something to prove that you r out of the property. Then you r eligible to contact your homeless department and they must help. Neverdless is not too late, contact your homeless dept and they will do something, specially if you have dependents. (Children).

There are always motels/efficiencies that rent by the week/month. You pay up front. Just ask to inspect the room before paying though. At best you'll get a run-down (old) but clean room, at worst, a run-down filthy pigsty, so inspect before handing over your cash!

These are not the poshest places on the earth, but livable, and usually mainly safe. The best thing? Most of the motels offer weekly maid service, so you don't have to clean it yourself.

Good luck to you.

If you have money to get a rental just keep looking till you find a place that they don't ask to many questions or check references. I'm sure if you look hard enough you'll find something although it might be a little run down or in a run down neighborhood...

Two words:

PrePaid Rent.

It depends on how recent the eviction was. If it happened within the last month, it probably won't show up on your record yet. Just apply for housing as you ordinarilly would (obviously, don't mention the eviction).

If the eviction is already on your record, then I suggest being honest about it during the application process. Find an apartment that you like and apply for it. When the housing provider asks for an application fee or money for a credit check, tell them about your eviction (they're about to find out anyway). Explain to them why you were evicted and that you always paid your rent on time (if that's true). Basically, give a positive spin on the eviction if you can. Provide them with a copy of your credit report (they may not accept your copy but offering a copy shows that you care about your credit). Ask them if they would consider renting to you knowing that you have an eviction on your record. If they still encourage you to apply (and pay the fees) and if they later reject you because of an eviction that you told them about, you would probably be entitled to a refund of those fees.

Beyond that, treat your search for housing like a job search. Networking is very important. Talk to your friends and family to see if they will put in a good word for you with their landlord. Search online classified ads for the phrase "eviction ok." Don't give up, there are landlords out there who are willing to consider people with evictions on their records, you just have to keep looking.

If you are looking to buy or rent and they ask for rental history tell them you live with mom/dad/realtive. When they run your credit that's how they find out where you have lived. Tell them you were staying with friend and you were not on the lease. If you have a judgement that will not work.
