What credit score do you need to rent? (renting with bad or no credit)

Explain that there's no universal minimum but landlords often look for mid-600s+; what they actually check (income, history, evictions); and options for renting with bad/no credit: larger deposit, guarantor/co-signer, proof of strong income, references, or no-credit-check private owners. General guidance, not a guarantee.
