I have rented apartments with a lower credit score than that...have you tried to apply for any apartments yet?

Check with the apartment and be upfront with them about it. Sometimes they will have a backup plan for people who do not have suitable credit scores. Remember, the only reason they are checking your score is to have some sort of confidence that you won't be a problem for them later on...

i agree with debttalk. Just be upfront with them.

i think it can be compansated by putting down a bigger deposit and having a good recommendation.
