Hi Andrew. I know your deadline has past but I found myself in a desperate situation once. I was living with someone who was well, I just had to get out immediately, so I posted an ad on Kijiji. I told them about how I was employed, clean quiet respectable responsible and a landlord contacted me and I lived in a nice cute and safe bedroom apartment for over 3 years. I didn't feel comfortable giving credit info and they were fine as long as I had my deposit. Good luck I know it's not always easy! --Previous Message-- : I need a home by March. I've looked for : apartments so many times in this city but : never in such a desperate and difficult : situation. : : I have very bad credit, although I am debt : free and have reasonably good income. : : I am recently self-employed, although I am : doing relatively well. : : My fiancee is moving from Florida with her 1 : year old baby.
