# Renting Again in Austin After an Eviction, From Round Rock to South Austin

Round Rock lies mostly in Williamson County, and South Austin belongs to Travis, so one apartment search here can span two counties. We're a free locating service for renters with an eviction on their record, whether it's paid, unpaid, dismissed or old.

When you apply, the leasing office pulls a tenant report listing past eviction cases, then compares it with its own cutoffs. We keep notes on those cutoffs and only point you to places that may say yes to your record. That way, you can tour fewer buildings that were never going to work. Your next step is the search form below, where you add your budget, your move date and the part of the metro you want.

## Why Austin’s rental market is harder with an eviction

Our team has 5+ combined years of helping renters with evictions find Austin area apartments. It’s free to you since the properties pay us.

Austin has plenty of empty apartments right now. Most of them are the wrong kind for a renter with an eviction. What got built in the recent boom was mostly Class A luxury, and we’ve seen very few new garden style complexes or walk up apartments go up. Those midrange places? They’re the ones most willing to work with you.

Then there’s screening. From what we see, most Austin properties run it automatically through companies like SafeRent Solutions, RealPage, or TransUnion SmartMove. And Travis County justice of the peace court filings stay public. Texas has no law for clearing an eviction record, and judges rarely seal one. It’s easy to feel stuck.

You’re not. You have real options here: Round Rock, Pflugerville, and the South Austin corridors. There’s a small, steady group of independent owners in central Austin who read your full rental history instead of trusting an automated flag. The trick is knowing where they are and which properties are open to evictions right now. Then you have to act fast when a unit opens up.

## Neighborhoods where renters with evictions have better odds

### Round Rock

Round Rock is where our Austin clients with evictions get approved most often. Independent owners around Old Settlers Park and along University Blvd often approve older evictions with a paid balance. Newer buildings near Kalahari and the Dell campus are stricter, but they can still work if you bring strong proof of income.

### Pflugerville

Pflugerville (especially around Stone Hill) and nearby Wells Branch have lots of midrange properties that make their own call. If your eviction is recent but you earn three times the rent, this is often your best fit.

### South Austin (Slaughter to William Cannon)

South Austin between William Cannon and Slaughter has garden style properties that look at every file one at a time. Over in East Riverside, some newer properties may consider older evictions. A strong current job helps.

### East Austin (past 183)

Independently owned properties past 183 in East Austin do their own screening instead of leaning on software like Yardi’s ScreeningWorks Pro. We see renters with older filings and paid balances get approved here a lot.

### Kyle, Buda and Manor

The commute is real. But your odds with an eviction are much better in Kyle and Buda, south on I-35, and in Manor, east on US 290. Parts of Cedar Park, northwest on US 183, can work for older evictions too. Newer Class B properties out here are often willing to work with a guarantor service like OneApp or a deposit alternative.

## What to expect from screening in central Austin

For a renter with a recent eviction, Class A towers are some of the toughest places in Texas. Think downtown, Rainey Street, and up around the Domain. Many of the ones we deal with use SafeRent Solutions with automatic denial rules. With a filing that’s paid or dismissed and older than 3 years, plus income of four times the rent, you can sometimes land there with a guarantor. That’s the exception, not the rule.

If your budget and eviction status point you to Round Rock or Pflugerville instead, we’ll tell you. A lease in the suburbs beats three months of denied applications in central Austin.

## How the big management companies handle evictions

Here’s what we see from the management companies you’ll run into most in Austin:

-   **Greystar**: each property sets its own policy, usually strict but it varies
-   **MAA**: usually wants the balance paid and the eviction at least 2 years old
-   **Cortland**: often screens through SafeRent and tends to be strict. In our placements, the filing usually needs to be at least 5 years old
-   **Presidium**: a Texas company with several Austin properties. Some of them look at files one by one
-   **NRP Group**: new construction in Austin, and as strict as most luxury buildings
-   **Willow Bridge** (formerly Lincoln Property Company’s residential division): a mix of property types. Some of its Austin properties read each application themselves
-   **Independent owners**: where many of our clients get approved

## Tenant resources and legal aid in Austin

[BASTA (Building and Strengthening Tenant Action)](https://bastaaustin.org/en/contact-us) is an Austin tenant organizing group that helps renters set up tenant associations. Sometimes you need legal help more than an apartment. Maybe you’re facing a writ of possession (the court’s final order to move out), a wrongful eviction, or a landlord holding your deposit. In those cases, call the [Texas RioGrande Legal Aid (TRLA) hotline](https://www.trla.org/help) at 956-996-8752 first.

Moving out past the metro? TexasLawHelp.org lets you look up legal aid groups by county. And you can dispute wrong eviction records on your screening report under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).

Have questions about SB 38 (the Texas eviction law changes that took effect January 1, 2026)? Our [SB 38 explainer](/blog/texas-sb-38-what-renters-with-evictions-need-to-know/) covers what changed.

## How much does it cost to move in with an eviction?

Average rents run about $1,417 a month in Round Rock and $1,491 in Pflugerville (RentCafe, September 2026). Here’s an example budget for a $1,600 a month apartment there with a recent eviction:

-   Application fee: usually $50 to $85 per adult
-   Risk fee: usually $150 to $500 in our placements
-   Security deposit: one to one and a half months of rent, so $1,600 to $2,400
-   First month’s rent and admin fee: $1,600 plus $150
-   Guarantor (if you use one): about one month’s rent ($1,600)

For one adult, that adds up to $3,550 to $6,335 all in. With a paid balance or a dismissed filing, you may not owe the risk fee or the bigger deposit, so your total often comes in well under that.

## How our Austin search works

## Questions we get about Austin

Straight answers, no legal fluff. Our licensed Texas agents regularly place renters with evictions.

### Is it harder to rent with an eviction in Austin than in other Texas cities?

Yes. Austin has plenty of empty units. From what we see, more of them are strict Class A luxury buildings than you'd find in Houston or DFW. Round Rock, Pflugerville, and South Austin are more forgiving. Central Austin high rises are the toughest.

### What Austin properties are best for a renter with an eviction?

Independent owners in Round Rock, Pflugerville, and East Austin often consider older or dismissed evictions. Kyle, Buda, and Manor have midrange properties worth a look too. South Austin between William Cannon and Slaughter has properties that look at each file on its own.

### Is there tenant help in Austin besides apartment locating?

Yes. BASTA (Building and Strengthening Tenant Action) is an Austin group that helps renters with tenant rights and tenant associations. If your problem is more legal than housing, we’ll point you to the Texas RioGrande Legal Aid (TRLA) hotline at 956-996-8752.

### How fast do Austin eviction friendly units move?

Fast. In the summer, we often see eviction friendly units fill in under two weeks. Winter is slower. We tell clients to be ready to sign within 72 hours of touring.

### Can I realistically rent in central Austin with an eviction?

Rarely, if your eviction is recent. Luxury buildings in central Austin use strict automated screening. An older eviction with strong income sometimes works there with a guarantor, but most of our clients do better in the suburbs.
