Get Approved for a Tampa Apartment โ€” Eviction, Bad Credit & All.

Tampa Bay's rapid growth brought institutional landlords whose screening software checks Hillsborough and Pinellas County eviction records on every application. Our corporate lease program bypasses that screening entirely: Luxe Corporate Living applies under our established company account, the property evaluates our 10+ years of corporate credit instead of your past, and you move in as the official named occupant on a 12-month lease at standard market rent.

Who We Approve in Tampa

Built for the Renters Tampa's Screening Systems Turn Away

Tampa Bay rents climbed faster than almost anywhere in America over the past five years, and the institutional landlords who bought in brought automated screening that denies on a filing, a bankruptcy, or a thin credit file with no human review. We built our program around what qualifies you, not what happened to you.

Open or Prior Evictions

Fulton County filing? Dispossessory on your record? Multiple evictions? The property never screens your rental history โ€” it screens ours.

โœ“ Accepted

Bad Credit or No Credit

Collections, charge-offs, scores in the 400s, or no credit file at all. Our corporate credit replaces yours on the application.

โœ“ Accepted

Bankruptcy โ€” Open or Discharged

Chapter 7 or Chapter 13. We qualify you on current income stability, not your financial past.

โœ“ Accepted

Travel Nurses & Medical Staff

Assignments at Tampa General, Moffitt, AdventHealth, or BayCare with no Florida rental history? No local credit needed โ€” we handle approval before your contract starts.

โœ“ Accepted

Hospitality & Service Professionals

Seasonal and tip-based income from Tampa's hotels, restaurants, and the port doesn't fit W-2 screening boxes. Bank statements and consistent deposits qualify here.

โœ“ Accepted

Relocating Professionals & New Floridians

Moving to Tampa before your first paycheck lands? Offer letters and contracts qualify โ€” move on your start date, not after.

โœ“ Accepted
Where We Place Clients

You Choose the Neighborhood. Any Community Qualifies.

We are not limited to a partner network โ€” these are simply the Tampa area neighborhoods where we place clients most often. Typical asking rents shown are for one-bedroom units and vary by community and season.

Channelside & Water Street

1BR typically $1,800โ€“$2,500

Tampa's newest urban district, walkable to Amalie Arena and the Riverwalk. The strictest screening in the bay; we place denied applicants here routinely.

South Tampa & Hyde Park

1BR typically $1,600โ€“$2,200

Bayshore Boulevard, historic bungalows, and the SoHo district. High demand means managers rarely make screening exceptions โ€” so we don't ask for one.

Seminole Heights & Riverside

1BR typically $1,300โ€“$1,700

Craftsman charm and a celebrated food scene north of downtown, with new mid-rises arriving along the river.

Westshore & Midtown

1BR typically $1,500โ€“$2,000

The bay's business district, minutes from the airport. Corporate relocations land here, and our lease structure is the same mechanism their employers use.

Brandon & Riverview

1BR typically $1,300โ€“$1,600

East Hillsborough value with new communities and top commuter access. A favorite for families restarting after a setback.

St. Petersburg & Pinellas

1BR typically $1,400โ€“$1,900

Downtown St. Pete's arts scene and beach-adjacent living. We place clients across the bridge as readily as in Tampa proper.

You Move In as the Official Occupant

You're on the lease as the named occupant for a full 12-month term, paying standard market rent directly to the property. Most Tampa placements complete within one to three weeks.

Tampa FAQ

Questions Tampa Renters Ask Us Most

Can I rent an apartment in Tampa with an eviction on my record?
Yes. Tampa Bay property managers screen through systems that flag Hillsborough and Pinellas County eviction filings โ€” our corporate lease bypasses that screening entirely. The property reviews our company's 10+ years of corporate credit, not your rental history. Open and prior evictions are both accepted.
Which Tampa Bay communities can I choose?
Any community in the bay area โ€” Channelside, South Tampa, Seminole Heights, Westshore, Brandon, Riverview, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and beyond. We are not limited to a partner network; you pick the property and we submit the application.
How fast can I move into a Tampa apartment through this program?
Pre-qualification takes about 60 seconds with a decision within one business day. Once you select a community, most Tampa placements complete within one to three weeks depending on the property's availability and move-in calendar.
What does second chance housing in Tampa cost?
Every fee is published before you apply: a $99 application fee at pre-qualification, a $400 admin fee paid to the property upon selection, and a one-time service fee of one month's rent at lease signing. Your monthly rent is standard market rate with no premium added.
Do I need a denial letter or referral to qualify in Tampa?
No. You apply directly โ€” no prior denial, no referral email, no 48-hour deadline. Tampa Bay is one of our active placement markets and our leasing team works files here daily.
