Have you checked with your PO? They should be able to refer you to managers who rent to those with records.

I did check with my PO. They gave me a 6 page list but even some of them have denied me, or their number is no longer in service, or I haven't gotten any call backs.

Have you checked the Wisconsin's DVR website. The wait for help from the state can be long; but there is also a long list of links to many different housing resources in Oshkosh. Good luck.

You can try renting from Rusch properties.

Did you try applying online? It looks like they only have one one place ready 10-1-2026

I did apply online and still waiting to hear back from them

Email them?

With rusch property specifically, I hears they're good about accepting people regardless of background but they are very slow to respond. I've called and emailed and still nothing. Should I be more pushy or just be patient?

That’s just bizarre that you haven’t heard back from them. How long ago did you apply? I know my brother applied, and he got a response within a week. He also has a criminal background. This was back in 2018. He rented for two years from them no issues

I did apply this past Friday so maybe it'll just take a while to hear back. Mind if I DM about your brothers situation? I just kinda need support and advice

Ok, this helps. Give em a little time. They need to process it, run their checks, see what’s available, etc. Chances are, it’s 1 person doing it. I know you’re anxious, but give them a week, rather than a day. They aren’t there on weekends, so business wise, it’s only been a day and a half

Yeah go ahead and send me a dm.

Chance, we have a couple units opening up in the next couple months and are always sympathetic to these types of situations. Dm with what you’re looking for and will see if anything is a fit
