From what've been reading and what they told me is take about 4 months but my lease is up the end of the month don't really know what to do and they don't offer month to month lease. I don't want to renew so I'm going crazy here. I wish they were more specific on the process. I tried looking for floor plans for the building which by the way is 950 Summit Ave but can't find any. I'm praying here
You will have to figure something out cause its not a fast process. You won't be approved tomorrow and get to move in so Id figure out your rental situation. You can always ask what is the penalty to break a lease and to just renew it.

So no interview only document drop off. I thought it was an interview one on one nope is in a community room with 4 people. You sit they ask you for all the documents they don't review anything with you they don't even review the money order I had forgotten to give it to them after I left 10 min later I went back to give it to the girl. They are super nice but not what I expected. Just make sure to have all your documents. So that won't delay the process from what I heard. Also if you have gone to court most likely when they check your credit they will see it. I have been fixing my credit for over a year and I didn't have no public record and all of a sudden a day after the interview boom a public record mind you the day of interview I check my credit I'm fine. So anyways I call equifax to find out what was that for the guy told me it was my management office I went to court to find out why was there a judgement against me they said no that is not a judgement against me that once we go to court it becomes public record but the only time it would show up is if someone from housing was looking into your credit. That they have a system they use they can see if I was taken to court if I had any eviction or depositions. That I needed to go to the attorney of the landlord and get a satisfaction of judgement and then send that to equifax and they would remove it. I did just that still waiting after 2 weeks. But it was removed like not even a week later because I told the equifax agent that I want to do investigation because that was false and I don't owe that. So I guess after they investigated they found out I didn't owe anything they removed it. Also I called my management and she told me she can give me a letter but I told her I wanted the satisfaction of judgement and she said I was fine. All this I did it on the 2nd. A day after the interview.

From what I have been reading and researching they cannot deny you just because of that and you never have been evicted. I also heard your credit score should be over 580.... something about having a combination of negative stuff such as bankruptcy, excessive loan or past due payments, etc.....

Also make sure that the income fits between the brackets cause anything out of it you'll get denied. Is this the first time for you? It is for me?

Yes, marylou this was my first interview for housing lottery. I went yesterday and it was just like you said. I gave them everything and they said it takes 6-8 weeks to hear anything. I don't think I will get it tho because I work for the city and my income is slated to go up in April. I read that they ask for any potential income increase when they contact your employer. Wish everyone the best of luck.

So Remember I said I was scheduled for anothe interview for the 28th but then was told to disregard that because I already went to the first interview. Thank God not only did I speak to her on the phone but I also emailed her because I got a rejection letter for miss 2 or more interviews. I called right away and email and today I spoke to her and she emailed me that she will have her supervisor review it. Is not my fault I didn't make it. But I'm not that upset because OMG I got another email for the one in Crossroads2 and I really want that one because of the parking. That one is more convinient for me. Either way I feel blessed let's see what happens.... All I say is have faith in God and if it's for you it will be Gods will. But be on top email and call weekly asking for updates. I feel like that shows interest.

Hopefully they don't I hear a lot of mix ways they calculate hopefully and faithfully is Gods will for you to have that apartment. Don't ever go into anything negatively always think positive and positive will come your way!
