Oh yeah, I meant to say this -- I think the main thing landlords care about, credit-wise, is do you pay your rent and do you make enough money. I don't think they actually care about when you pay your other bills, unless you are completely out of the realm of responsible bill-payer who sometimes gets in a little trouble.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

I am hoping this is the case. I have never been even LATE with my rent my whole life, but I have been late with credit cards and also forgot to pay my car insurance long enough that it got cancelled and I had to have it reinstated. And I have also (for the same reason of stupidity) been late for parking tickets.

After my landlord made a couple of comments obliquely pointing out (correctly) that I'm in a lower income bracket than most of my neighbors, I made a point of mentioning to the building manager that rent always comes first each month before I even look at other bills.

This is me, except without the car, and I've always been OK as long as I made enough money.
Good luck with the wonderful apartment!!

It sounds like I have a similar or worse credit history than you do, Sophia, and I just passed a credit check for the apartment I moved into this month. So you probably have nothing to worry about.
Though I will admit, I worried until I knew I'd been approved.

I can't help but be nervous anytime I know I'm being checked. I got jumpy when I was just getting my laptop at Best Buy- when I got the car I thought I'd chew my nails off.

The only way I could deal with getting a car loan was to have an already approved loan from my credit card company. The dealer gave me a better rate, as it turned out, but I never would have gone in had I not had $X at my diposal.

Um, as long as I don't have to go to the land of snow and cold.
Actually, the weather here is, at the moment, gorgeous. Because I am trapped in my office with windows that don't open, of course.
Tuesday is petty.
Tuesday just decided that what I really needed was a mild case of food poisoning.
Ow. That was just mean.
