At 25, Rep.-elect Maxwell Frost will be the youngest member of Congress. He also has bad credit, and it's stopping him from getting an apartment— something many young adults can relate to.
Vipassana Vijayarangan, who could not live with her boyfriend as planned because her lack of credit disqualified her from renting an apartment with him, in New York on Dec. 17, 2022.
Frost said he also lost hundreds of dollars last year when he was searching for housing in his home district in Orlando. “The first rejection was because we didn’t have a third guarantor,” Loheide said. “I kept asking the brokers ‘why?’ but I barely ever got a real answer.” Martin added that the money from application fees “is not in any way a form of revenue for management companies, brokers or property owners.” The fee, Martin said, goes toward covering the cost of running the background checks, credit checks and other screening processes.
Similar to Frost’s situation, the broker assured Vijayarangan that her lack of credit wouldn’t be a problem, but in the end, her application was denied.
