Can someone with a felony record rent in Scottsdale?

Screening practices and applicable requirements can vary by property and location. Ask each housing provider about its current criteria and verify reported policy details directly. For questions about your rights, consider consulting a qualified local housing or legal resource. Approval is never guaranteed.

Scottsdale Housing Agency posts landlord-submitted courtesy rental listings intended for Housing Choice Voucher holders. Its voucher waitlist is currently closed. A listing on that board is not evidence that the city owns a home, that it is still vacant, or that a landlord will approve someone with a conviction.

Local housing information for Scottsdale

Local rental overview

The official Scottsdale courtesy board showed 140 cards when captured September 28, 2026. Repeated floor-plan cards, duplicate units and competing names at the same location have been grouped into 101 address-level leads. Two badly malformed addresses were excluded from address-level listings pending clarification. The cards include apartment buildings, individually advertised multifamily units and single-family rentals; 55 cards displayed availability dates in 2024, 54 in 2025, and 31 in 2026, including four future-dated entries. Even where the page says Available Now, older dates do not prove present vacancies. Listing rent, deposits, utilities and phone numbers are source claims and must be reconfirmed. Source and fraud warning: https://www.scottsdaleaz.gov/housing/housing-choice-voucher-program/courtesy-property-listings .

Criminal screening overview

The courtesy rental board gives no property-level criminal-background eligibility rules. Landlords set their own screening criteria in addition to program eligibility. Do not infer conviction acceptance from a property appearing on the voucher courtesy board or from a phone/rent listing. Ask each manager for written screening rules and any applicable application fee before paying. Scottsdale Housing Agency can explain voucher program eligibility but cannot promise landlord approval.

Application tips

Scottsdale Housing Agency says its Housing Choice Voucher waitlist is closed. Existing voucher holders can review the city's courtesy board, contact the listed manager to confirm the specific unit, current rent, deposit, utility terms, voucher participation and criminal-history screening, then confirm rent limits and inspection with their housing specialist. The agency's office at 6535 E. Osborn Road, Building 8, Scottsdale AZ 85251, is a service location, not a listed rental. The city's fraud alert says it does not collect landlord application fees, deposits or rent; never send money by gift card, wire transfer or instant-payment app before viewing and verifying the property and lease.
