How long to get a Credit Check done?

[Mrs.J06 4]

Hi everybody,

since right now all we can do is wait immigration-wise, I have found another topic to freak out about:

Tenant checks!

My hubby and I need to rent an appartment for the time between moving out of our house, which is sold, and moving into our new place, which we have not even started to build yet! So I looked at some places, found the ones we liked and filled in a rental application form for both of us.

They told us they would run a credit and rental history check and call us back Friday (that was last Thursday). Well, Monday is almost over and we still haven't heard a word...

Needless to say, they won't find any credit history on me, but my hubby has excellent credit. Never had any trouble with anything. He has no rental history, though, since he had his own places for the last 20 or so years...

How long does it usually take to get a credit check done? Any insight anybody? Has anybody ever had trouble with one spouse not having any credit history?

Thanks,

Carla

My ex had no credit history, and mine was fine. It never took any longer to run the check because of that factor. In fact, it was probably faster, because they saw no data returned on his name, then focused on me and we were done.

I don't know a thing about 'rental checks' though. Maybe that is what is holding it up.

I would call them back, sounds like someone has forgotten to call you (if they said they'd get back with you and have not).
