Your Past Does Not Define Your Next Home.

Fresh Start Locators specializes in placing Texas renters who have been turned away everywhere else. Evictions, broken leases, bad credit, felony backgrounds — we have seen it all and we do not judge.

No Judgment

We Specialize in Situations Others Walk Away From.

Eviction History

One or more evictions on your rental record does not automatically disqualify you. We know which Texas communities review applicants individually.

Broken Leases

Broke a lease due to job loss, relocation, or family circumstances? We work with properties that look at your current situation, not just your past.

Bad Credit

Low credit score or no credit history? Many of our partner communities use income verification and rental history as their primary criteria — not just a credit score.

Felony Background

Certain felony backgrounds are accepted at select Texas communities. We know which properties have inclusive background review policies. Every situation is reviewed individually.

No Rental History

First time renter with no rental history? We help you establish your first lease at communities that welcome new renters.

Multiple Issues

Eviction AND bad credit AND a broken lease? We have helped clients with complex histories find quality housing. Call us before you give up.

The Process

How Our Second Chance Locating Process Works

1

Tell Us Your Full Situation

Call 1-833-4-HOME-4U or complete our online form. Be honest with us — the more we know, the better we can match you. We do not judge. We plan.

2

We Identify the Right Properties

Not every community accepts every background. We know which Texas properties in your target city and budget range are most likely to approve your specific situation.

3

We Present You Professionally

Our team introduces you to the property in a way that puts your best foot forward — income, stability, and your willingness to be a great tenant come through clearly.

4

You Move In

Once approved, we help you understand your lease terms and get settled. We stay available throughout the process.

What You Should Know

Fresh Start Locators is a locating and referral service. We do not guarantee approval at any specific property. Final leasing decisions are always made by the apartment community based on their individual review policies. We work exclusively with communities that have inclusive review standards — but every application is unique. We never charge you a fee for our locating service. If any property charges an application fee, that is the property's standard fee — not ours.

Need More Than a Locator?

Some situations require more than finding the right community — they require a corporate guarantor to step in and sign the lease. If your situation calls for that level of support, our team will connect you with the right resource during your consultation.

Ask about guarantor options when you call.
