Hey everyone!
I am trying to get an apartment in Chicago and I keep getting turned down. Long story short, I have a rental collections item on my credit report. I have never had a problem in Michigan renting an apartment with this on it, but I guess Chicago is different*.

I am running out of time trying to find an apartment, so what do you think I should do? I have enough on my credit card to pay it off, but that would max of my credit card, however that collections would be paid. Or keep on trying to find a landlord that overlooks this splotch? What do you think? Does anyone have any personal experience with this?

*Also, to defend myself, I have been working off other debt and my credit score is back to a good score and getting better.
