How are my chances especially with the no credit thing...is it a dealbreaker?

I can definitely pay the rent but Im scared of being denied simply over bad credit

You don't have "bad credit", just none at all.


This may or may not be a bad thing depending upon other circumstances and or what is being looked at.


If you feel must establish some sort of credit apply for one or two cards. Charge small amounts each month (Metrocard, groceries, etc...) and pay off entire bill each month (don't carry a balance).

Hi; is it normal that you get chosen; go to the interview submit all documents fine and then they tell me all income brackets i quilify for is full; that the is one but is on a way higher income bracket; why they picked me and interviewed me and took my documents if they dont have any apartments available; u dont understand and if you will the lottery and have everything right you dont get any apartment any way; what is the point of winning the lottery then; it s a waist of time; anybody had the same situation what should i do in this case?
