GENERAL INFORMATION: You can search any of the major metro areas in TX for an apartment - FREE

Who this Search IS for:

Want to get an idea of apartments and prices? This 24x7 Search will start you on your journey to find a new apartment. If you do not have have any "issues" like a Broken Lease, Eviction, Criminal Conviction, or a severe credit problem, it is the recommended way.

Who this Search IS NOT for:

If you have any "issues" that you need to discuss with us - like a new job, Rental history problem (Broken Lease or Eviction), Credit issue (Foreclosure, Bankruptcy, or any severe credit problem) or criminal conviction (misdemeanor or felony) this search is NOT the place to start. Instead, select the metro area you are in to go to the specific website and use our FIND AN APARTMENT FOR ME form and request a Confidential Consultation. We can find you an apartment but the form PLUS the consultation is the first step.

If you qualify for the search, here is the process:

Click the image of the "magnifying glass image" above, then

Select a Region (DFW, Houston, Austin, or San Antonio).

Select the number of bedrooms you need.

Select a Maximum Monthly Rental Price (we suggest searching for $50 to $100 more than you want to spend because many times the Specials you will qualify for will reduce the monthly rental price).

Select if you have a Pet (dogs, cats, none).

Start your search by clicking on "Next".

Click on the boxes to select an Apartment(s).

When you are done, display your Favorites.

Send the Favorites to me. I will add in the Phone numbers, Apartment Names, advertised Specials, and more. I will also add any apartments that you should see (that you may have missed).

What Happens Next...

I will send you a note with details of each complex.

I'll ask you to prioritize the list and e-mail me or call me.

I then take the complexes you are interested in and find out availability any specials (like the unadvertised Look & Lease Specials).

I like to save my clients: Time, Money, and Stress.

When You Get set to go to the apartments

Print my business card from the note I send you to ensure you qualify for my FREE GIFT CARD (also so I'll get compensated for helping you).

Then Call Me or send me an UPDATE - APT STATUS form from my web site.

GENERAL INFORMATION: Don't Be Foolish - Rent Right

1. Don’t rent without driving by the complex on a Friday or Saturday night to check on the nighttime environment (including parking).
2. Use an apartment locator when you have Rental History, Credit problems, Criminal Convictions, or New employment – the service is FREE and a good locator can save you from losing deposits and application fees.
3. Don’t sign a long term lease when they believe they will need to change locations soon.
4. Don’t agree to take an apartment on the 2nd or 3rd floor when you need a ground floor unit. Your will regret it everyday.
5. Don’t try to “hide” an animal without paying the pet deposit or pet rent.
6. Don’t try to hide someone on the lease who is over 18 – TX law requires everyone to be on the lease who is 18 or over even “grown children”.
7. Don’t rent under someone else’s name to bypass the Rental criteria – this can not only get you “kicked out of the unit” but you may cause the person who rented the apartment FOR YOU to be hit with a Broken Lease or Eviction AND THEREBY OWE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO THE COMPLEX.
8. Don’t break a lease – better to give Notification that you are leaving and make payment arrangements to pay off your debt (and usually cheaper in the long run).
9. Know how to complain about an apartment – the right way will protect your rights and protect your “pocketbook”. Seek out the local apartment association or Attorney General of Texas’ website – see Tenant Rights.
10. Don’t file a fraudulent application for an apartment. The apartment can and will keep your deposit, application fees, administrative fees, and may evict you or charge you with a Broken Lease.

*Bonus Tip: Don't rent without checking with the local police department on the crime rate in the area the apartment is in. It takes a little work but this can save you BIG TIME.

FELONS: PDF Business Card here and on my site

PDF Business Card on my specialty website: AptFindFelons.com

Felons have it tough - even after they have "paid their debt to society" and are leading productive lives.

Do you know that only 39 apartment complexes in Houston, the 4th largest city in the U.S., will allow a felon to live there (before 6 years have elasped). More at 7 years. Double that at 10 years. DFW, San Antonio, and Austin really aren't any better.

But the felon or the family of someone convicted of a felony not only needs an apartment locator - they need an apartment locator that specializes in helping felons.

To my knowledge, I'm the only people with a web site devoted to helping felons. I try to put you and your family in the nicest place possible. I know that many other apartment finders just have a list of crummy apartments that take felons and they send the list and "wash their hands of you".

I'm not like that. Call me or visit my web site that is designed for felons and their families: www.AptFindFelons.com. The site serves the largest metro areas in Texas (Houston, Dallas, Ft. Worth, Austin, and San Antonio). I've also added a link to the PDF Business Card and my AptFindFelons Testimonials page to this blog posting.
