Dallas Apartment Locator - Free, and We Publish the Numbers

Yes. You pay nothing. The community pays a referral fee from its marketing budget, and your rent is identical to what you'd find on your own. List our name and your agent's name on the guest card and application so we can keep the service free.

Most Dallas properties require 3x the rent in gross monthly income, some 2.5x, a few 2x. At $5,000/month gross that's roughly $1,666 (3x), $2,000 (2.5x), or $2,500 (2x). Income decides approval more than the credit score does.

Yes. Income offsets a low score. We maintain a database of Dallas properties that work with a 580, a thin file, collections, or charge-offs. We describe what each property requires and never promise approval.

Yes. A filing screens differently than a judgment, and a broken lease differently than money owed. We know which Dallas properties consider each and under what terms. We work from what you tell us. We never pull your report.

A clawback makes free rent repayable if you break the lease early. The terms usually live in a lease addendum, not the lease body, so most renters never see them. Every recommendation we send with a concession states whether the building claws it back.

Usually the same day. Send your budget, move date, and what matters to you, and we send a real list back with the income multiple, credit minimum, and true monthly cost attached to each property.

We track which Dallas properties count 1099, gig, and commission income and which require W-2 paystubs. We work from what you tell us about your income and match it to properties that accept it.

No. We never obtain, request, receive, or store your credit report or screening file. There is no permissible purpose under the FCRA for a locator to pull one. We work only from what you tell us.

Yes. We locate in Uptown, Downtown, Design District, Victory Park, Knox-Henderson, and Turtle Creek, comparing buildings on effective rent, the fee stack, and clawback terms rather than headline rent.

Sometimes renewing wins, sometimes moving does. It depends on your increase versus what nearby buildings offer on effective rent. We run the math both ways. When it says renew, we say so, even though we earn nothing that day.

Yes. Second-chance leasing covers credit, rental history, and background situations together, and each one runs on the same principle: income offsets the rest. We match your specifics against our database of which Dallas properties work with which situation. Most Dallas leases run on the standard Texas Apartment Association form, and the landlord-tenant rules underneath it sit in Texas Property Code Chapter 92. We describe what a property's stated criteria require. We never promise approval.
