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.
Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

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.
