If you have multiple felony can you rent a apartment?

Coming from someone who is currently in the market for apartments while having a criminal background i can tell you right now in southern NJ it is next to impossible to find a apartment complex that does not mind renting to "criminals." My suggestion is to look for things that are for rent by owner, like houses for rent or condo, or duplexes because most of the time you can explain your background situation to the indiviual owner and they will take it into consideration. They won't turn you away with out listening. Good luck! We all need it!
