I would say: look in Facebook housing groups and Craigslist for sublets. You are entitled to request permission to sublet from the owner, and the owner may not unreasonably refuse such permission.If your housing application is declined because of poor credit or background checks, you can ask for details regarding the rejection reasons. If you would like to sublease your apartment, you must first tell your landlord that you want to do this. The roommate with a good credit score can sign the lease and you can directly sublease from them.
