What is the possibility of obtaining a Rental in a Florida Gated Community if individual recently filed Bankruptcy.
I live in Florida. I was denied housing in a gated rental community because of a $ judgment on my Credit Report with a property management that was Also a gated community. I was told that I would NOT be allowed to rent an apartment until the judgment was satisified and off my credit report. – FAST FORWARD : I just filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy; QUESTION: Will my Bankruptcy on my credit report (and Discharge of the debt I owed to the ‘property managers of the gated community’ ) keep me from ever renting again in a luxury gated rental community??I’m worried and concerned.

I think you may have trouble with the luxury rental market. You'll just have to find someplace that isn't gated to live, while your bankruptcy is being resolved. The bankruptcy will stay on your credit report until 10 years after the discharge (at the end of the process). You'll just have to live with that, wherever you can rent.
