Manage episode 377372999 series 3317846
Bad credit can be a hindrance for many things, including finding a place to live. Many landlords use credit scores as a way to gauge an applicant's financial stability.

Daniel also answers the following questions:
- Do all landlords check the credit scores of potential renters?
- Do you need to consent to having a credit check?
- Can I be evicted if I file a Bankruptcy or Consumer Proposal?
- Will my landlord find out about my Bankruptcy if I don’t owe back rent?
