Black Rent is a type of real estate business that caters to low income African Americans, usually of the east coast and south variety. These "black" renters are usually loud, obnoxious, ignorant, and tend to hang out on the porch of their rented dwelling.

Historically, they have a history of not paying the rent on time, using their welfare checks to buy drugs, and causing damage to the property.

Black rent is a term used to describe the type of rent used to cater to these people. You can identify black rent ads because they will have a lot of "bling" (flashy designs) on them, have an African American (or obese white woman) realtor on the page, and cost less than 500/month.

Black rent is a great way to fill up vacancies in areas of town that normal people would not live in.

Are there any types of apartments that will rent to a person with bad rental history?

very few


If you pay 6 months rent upfront will you be able to rent a property with bad credit history?

Usually, it depends on the landlord though. That's how most people with bad credit get an apartment.


Do landlords require a letter for rent payment?

Not all do. The purpose of a letter for rent payment is basically something a landlord can require prior to renting an apartment to you. This letter basically just states that you paid your rent on time every month. It is just a method landlords use to verify your rental history.


If you have an eviction from 1999 and no rental history since then will an apartment complex rent to you?

We were able to rent with no rental history and had an evection from 2000. we are in Ohio ao it may be different but that is our experience. It is totally up to the landlord's discretion whether to rent to you or not. As I am sure you are aware, you are not the most ideal candidate and you could be competing with other candidates who don't have these obstacles. When applying, you should be truthful with your potential landlord, and if possible find other ways of convincing the landlord that you will be a good tenant, such as showing you have a reliable credit history and income stream and even getting a letter of recommendation from whoever you have previously been paying rent to. Another suggestion is to offer to pay extra security deposit or to pay a month in advance, or to get a co-signer on your lease. These are just suggestions for you to try to re-establish your rental history.


How difficult is it to rent an apartment if you have a 5-year-old eviction no other rental history and no credit?
