Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
Hi. I am trying to rent a condominium in Tampa and worked an agreement with the landlord. I explained to her my credit issues, so there were no surprises, as I did not want to throw $80 dollar application fee away. She stated that it sounded ok, and I even gave her an approximite score. I went ahead with the application, and was told the following day that I was denied due to low credit score (519). Is there anything I can do, and can I be denied just on that basis, without explanation?

Yes, you can be denied without explanation. If you and the landlord did not already sign the lease, then the landlord can choose not to rent to you after reviewing your application and credit.
