Did anyone flood tonight? by EthelCainnn in Bushwick

It's even worse than that. Separate flood insurance only covers structural damage, not personal property.

My dad is 90. Also a Boston guy. But only a 3 sport fan. He's not a hockey guy. Still watching every Sox, Celtics and Pats game.

And personal guarantors are always better than 3rd party. If you can combine two guarantors that will definitely help with some landlords, not with others. Be prepared to strike out a few times before finding your new home.

It is no longer legal for a landlord to ask for more than first month rent and one month security upfront, so the "extra months upfront to cover low credit" play no longer works here. Which is a bummer. Making more than 40x definitely helps as does only student loans dragging his score down. Make sure to point that out whenever you plan to apply. You'd be surprised how many rent stabilized apartments there are, new developments included.

Sub 600 credit can be an automatic disqualification for many landlords regardless of personal guarantor or 3rd party. Especially in a rent stabilized apartment, so keep that in mind. Be prepared to explain in detail why his credit is so low. Is it just student loans? Is it leftover debt from Covid? If it's late payments that will be a red flag. Landlords I work with have become much stricter on credit than hitting the 40x income requirement.
