Can someone with a felony record rent in San Jose?

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.

Browse dated City of San José affordable-housing portal records. Active and closed marketing campaigns are labeled separately; verify current vacancies, income rules, application deadlines and screening directly with each manager.

Local housing information for San Jose

Local housing resources

CITY OF SAN JOSÉ HOUSING PORTAL SNAPSHOT — https://housing.sanjoseca.gov/listings; downloaded September 29, 2026. This is the City of San José affordable-housing portal (jurisdiction “San Jose”), not a roster of properties owned or managed by the Housing Authority of Santa Clara County. The source page contained 48 active and 46 closed marketing records. Four closed records repeated the same named street address in older marketing campaigns (Palm Court Senior Apartments, Tamien Station Apartments and Parkmoor Community Apartments); the latest record per named property/address yields 90 distinct housing leads: 48 active-marketing and 42 closed-marketing. Both types are shown as source-attributed, unverified, noindex records, with closed campaigns visibly marked as closed. The source's building-total-units field was zero for every record, so it was NOT treated as an actual property capacity. The portal's “Available Units,” “Open Waitlist,” and “Closed Listings” labels describe different marketing states. Older closed records can still retain a nonzero saved unit count: that is not a live vacancy. Active record counts, rents, minimum incomes, age restrictions and application deadlines are dated snapshots; use each linked property page to check the current route and deadline. The portal includes property-entered criminal-background, credit and rental-history criteria on some records, while others say nothing. A background-check statement does not establish that convictions are accepted or rejected; applicants should request current written criteria before paying fees. These listings may be run by independent developers or managers rather than either housing authority.

How we verify this information

Reported screening policies come from properties, management companies, and renter-submitted experiences, and each record shows when it was last verified. Policies can change at any time—always confirm directly with the property.

Are there apartments in San Jose that don't run background checks?

Screening practices vary. Ask each housing provider directly whether it conducts background checks and what criteria it uses. Listings on this page show reported screening information and are labeled with their verification status; reported details should be confirmed with the property.

Should I disclose my record before applying in San Jose?

Consider asking the property about its screening process and application requirements before paying any fees or submitting an application. Requirements differ, so confirm details directly with the housing provider.

How current is the screening information for San Jose?

Where available, each record shows its verification status and the date it was last verified. Information may be reported or unverified and policies can change, so confirm details directly with the property before applying. If you spot outdated information, please let us know.

How can I improve my chances of approval in San Jose?

Review the property's stated application criteria and prepare the documents it requests. You can also ask whether it accepts references or other supporting information. Each property makes its own decisions, and approval is never guaranteed.
