Renters struggling to pay security deposits upfront may have new options.

Cristy Hill of South Haven, Mississippi, a mother of three, also uses Rhino. The company’s service was offered through the apartment building she moved into during the pandemic.

“Nobody is mandating any sort of new way of doing things, it’s mandating choices for renters,” Jain said. “Giving options to renters to make financial decisions that are best for them is really important. Right now they have no choices.” Renters are still liable, however, and could still be subject to claims from their landlords for missed rent or excessive damages. Critics also point out thatCierra Winzor, a mother of two toddlers, was displaced from her Florida home and laid off from work following Hurricane Dorian in 2019. She left Florida to stay with her mother until she could get back on her feet. She learned about money-saving alternatives when looking for an apartment in Atlanta.

You don't have to sell a kidney you just have to WORK!!! And there is SO much help for low income renters--cash assistance, food assistance, rent help, medicaid, heating allowances....on and on.

When will credit checks be omitted from rental applications? If one was buying, there should be accountability. Renting is not meant to be permanent 4 American Dream. Reality is another economic paradigm. There are too many unhoused people bc of credit checks & high rents.

in oregon, people are expected to come up with '1st month, last month PLUS security deposit'. apartments start at 1k and single family residences, min $1800. who can come up with that? and on less than $15/hr.
