Question:
I am a professoinal woman (pharmaceutical industry). I live in NJ, am transferring to Austin, TX. My company provides no transfer money or help because I am not a manager (only managers and up get that benefit). I have been looking for an apartment in Texas. Most places are managed by big management companies who are turning be down due to my bad credit. I move to Texas in March. I will be officially homeless since I won't have a place. I am at wits end. I make money, I attend online college. I don't smoke, or drink and am a good citizen but just have bad retail credit. I do have good rental history but still can't get approved. I will be homeless now in March in Texas. Not sure what to do.
Answer:
Don't transfer.
Are you the one that initiated this transfer or did your employer decide to send you to Texas? If this was your employers decision, then they should be paying moving expenses. If you just decided you wanted to move to Texas and asked for a transfer, I can see why they wouldn't. However, if you asked for the transfer, didn't you check out Austin beforehand?
You are probably going to have to get a friend or relative to co-sign on your lease before anyone will rent to you.
THERE ARE CHURCHES, SYNAGOGUES, MUSKS - all over America. If one in your area can not provide you with a place to stay for a short period of time. They can provide you with an address where you can have your mail sent to.
Use the services of an affiliate where you are living now to gain a contact in Austin. There are many people that will rent, sight unseen if the rent and deposit is sent in advance.
