I wanted to share my apartment success story in hopes of giving someone out there in my position some hope too!! I spent so much time on here scouring for stories of anyone who had success and while I did find a few, the stress of it all had me fixated on the opposite. So I hope that someone reads this and feels a slither of hope!!
I filed for Chapter 7 on 1/30/26, 341 meeting on 3/10 with a discharge after 5/11. Today, 5/27 I got approved for an apartment owned by Greystar.
My current lease (also corporate owned) was through 4/23/26 and it wasn’t until the week prior to that, that the property manager let me know they weren’t renewing me (I was late on rent previously, paid it off in Dec, current now) and had til 6/22 to move out. I had previously called 3 different times asking about a renewal and no one would give me an answer so it was super frustrating. Either way it was my responsibility to be on time with rent but of course I spiraled so bad on the inside lol. I was constantly thinking about the situation. I was having panic attacks at the thought of trying to find a new place. My beta blockers were putting in work to keep me calm 😅
Fast forward to 5/12, PACER updates with my discharge!! By the end of the week, it was on my credit report and it boosted my score. But I knew to give it a few days/a week to apply to apartments so I was half relieved/half stressed lol.
Last week 5/22 I finally applied to my #1 choice. Today 5/27, I’m officially approved, lease signed and no conditional approval or anything extra!!! 🥳
