Reply #18: The places to rent from around here will find other [View All]

reasons not to rent to you. Like I said before, I no longer have a credit card but have in the past. I was a college student when I received one (a student w/ a fulltime job). I used it only for books that I didn't have enough money to purchase and one family funeral that I had to travel for. The books too two months to pay off (chose to skimp on food instead) and the family funeral took three months to pay off. Both were last minute things and I needed the money. I haven't had a card of my own since.

As to rent-I moved back in w/ my parents for the time being. I am saving my money to buy a small trailer outright so that I will never have to worry about a landlord telling me how I will pay the rent again. But rents in this town will keep going up and more places will demand that you use a credit card to pay the rent. That's a fact and no matter how much I fight it I'm not going to win. Many places around here prefer cc or will find someone else to rent to(some will also accept BAC or a direct payment for low income like Section 8. Most are advertising only to college students or military and do not want anyone else in their apartments).
