Yes, but it's harder. Many landlords run tenant screening reports and may reject applicants with eviction history. The key is being upfront, showing stable income, offering extra deposit, finding smaller independent landlords, or seeking eviction expungement first. Many tenants successfully rent again after an eviction.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long until I can rent again after eviction?
There's no set waiting period — it depends on the landlord. Some will rent to you immediately with extra deposit; others have strict policies. Credit repair and expungement help.
Should I disclose my eviction to a potential landlord?
Yes, it's usually better to be upfront and explain the circumstances. Landlords appreciate honesty and a good explanation can overcome a negative record.
What types of apartments are most likely to rent to someone with an eviction?
Individual/private landlords, Section 8 housing, senior housing, and some property management companies specialize in working with applicants who have prior evictions.
