There’s More to the Story Than a Credit Score

Don’t Let Bad Credit Hold You Back

If you have ever been turned down by a leasing office, you are not alone. 

Life happens. 

Job changes, medical bills, divorce, or unexpected financial setbacks can all impact credit, even for responsible people.

At Houses and Then Some Rentals and Realty, we understand that credit history does not always tell the full story. While we do have qualification standards, we also believe in taking a closer look at the person behind the application.

If you have questions about our process or want to understand what we look for, you are always welcome to call and speak with a real person (864-395-6538) during business hours. Or you can leave us a message and we will call you back!

We Believe in Fair, Honest Evaluation

Many leasing offices rely on automated systems that issue an instant yes or no. There is no conversation and no opportunity to explain what happened.

That is not how we operate.

At Houses and Then Some Rentals and Realty, you can speak with a real person. We believe conversations matter, and it is part of what makes us different. Our team is here to answer questions, explain the process, and help you understand your options before you apply.

We believe in doing business in an honest and ethical manner. That means reviewing applications thoughtfully, consistently, and with respect. While we cannot guarantee approval, we can promise transparency, fairness, and clear communication.

What We Look At Beyond Credit

Credit is important, but it is only one part of the picture. Depending on the situation, we may also consider income stability, rental history, references, and the circumstances behind past credit challenges.

Being easy to do business with does not mean lowering standards. It means being clear, responsive, and respectful throughout the process.

Respect Works Both Ways

As a property management company, we are stewards of other people’s investments. That responsibility requires balance.

We work to protect the homes entrusted to us while treating applicants and residents with dignity. We believe it is possible to demand excellence from ourselves while still being fair and human in how we work with people.

If You Have Been Turned Down Before

A “no” from one leasing office does not mean the door is closed forever.

If you have experienced credit challenges but are working to move forward, we encourage you to explore available homes and reach out with questions. Our team is here to help you understand the process and determine whether a home might be a good fit. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and given a fair opportunity.
