The fees are gone for good. ### Wasted Application Fees $50 here, $100 there. You can't keep paying non-refundable fees at properties that auto-decline your file. ### Move-In Pressure You've got 48 hours, a week, maybe two. You need an approval, not another rejection letter. ### Embarrassed to Explain You shouldn't have to relive a hard year over and over. You need someone who handles it without judgment. ## Kennedale Rental Market Overview Fort Worth Second Chance Apartments provides free apartment locating in Kennedale for renters with evictions, bad credit, or broken leases. With 845+ renters placed across the DFW metro, we know which garden-style complexes, duplexes, and fourplexes along US-287 and Kennedale Pkwy approve your history. **Kennedale** is a compact, semi-rural suburb of roughly 8,500 residents positioned between Southeast Fort Worth and South Arlington along the **US-287** corridor and the local Parkway. The city functions as a bedroom community with residents commuting to South Arlington retail, the **I-20 logistics and industrial sector**, and the **GM Arlington Assembly Plant** east on I-20. Families in the **Kennedale ISD** school district and workers at the nearby **Amazon DFW7 fulfillment center** off I-20 make up a large share of the renter base. Local businesses cluster along the **US-287** commercial spine and through the **TownCenter** mixed-use development near **Sonora Park**. One-bedrooms typically run **$950 to $1,450** and two-bedrooms **$1,250 to $1,900** (2026 rates), keeping this among the more affordable rental options between Fort Worth and Arlington. The rental stock here is primarily older **garden-style apartment complexes**, **duplexes**, and **fourplexes** along the **US-287** spine and the **Kennedale Parkway** corridor - these hold the primary second-chance inventory in the city. These properties are predominantly held by individual owners and small local portfolios rather than national corporate property management companies, which means manual, human application review rather than automated algorithmic scoring through platforms like **SafeRent** or **Credit Retriever**. A leasing agent can weigh the age of your record, your income documentation, and your explanation rather than having a screening platform auto-decline you. Many communities here work with bad credit and older evictions; broken leases commonly clear when the balance is paid and income meets 3x the rent. Unpaid prior-landlord balances and recent felonies are the primary approval obstacles, and risk fees with larger deposits are the standard trade-offs. Because local apartment inventory is limited, the Fort Worth Second Chance Apartments team routinely cross-shops **South Arlington**, **Forest Hill**, and **Southeast Fort Worth** alongside this market as one affordable SE Tarrant search cluster. Both neighboring areas carry significantly more second-chance product at comparable price points and commute distances, and the **I-20** and **US-287** corridors connect them to the same job bases along **Loop 820** and **Dick Price Road**. Guarantor programs such as **OneApp Guarantee** or **The Guarantors** extend reach into the newer **TownCenter**\-area developments and any corporately managed properties within the city.

"I had a broken lease and two denials before I called Ross. He only sent me to places that would actually work with my history, I was approved in two days and didn't waste a single application fee." Destiny R. Fort Worth, TX "An eviction from years ago was haunting every application. Ross knew exactly which Fort Worth properties review case-by-case and walked me through a landlord letter. Approved." Janelle P. Arlington, TX "Judgment-free is the right way to describe it. I was embarrassed about my credit and they just got to work finding me a great place near my job. Highly recommend." Sofia M. Haltom City, TX FAQ ## Second Chance Apartments Kennedale FAQ Common questions about renting in Kennedale. ### Which Kennedale apartments accept evictions? + Many communities along the US-287 corridor and through the Kennedale Parkway area conduct manual, case-by-case application review rather than algorithmic auto-decline. These properties weigh the age of the eviction, whether the balance is paid, and your current income. Because local inventory is limited, we also cross-shop South Arlington and Southeast Fort Worth as part of the same search to give you the widest set of options. Our free service identifies which specific communities are open to your situation before you spend a non-refundable application fee. ### Are there second-chance apartments in Kennedale? + Yes. The older Class B and C communities along US-287 and the Kennedale Parkway corridor conduct manual application review and are more open to renters with evictions, bad credit, or broken leases than corporate-managed, algorithmically screened properties. Because the city is small, we pair this search with South Arlington and Southeast Fort Worth as one affordable SE Tarrant cluster, expanding your options without extending your commute. ### How much are Kennedale apartments with bad credit or an eviction? + As of 2026, base rents typically run $950 to $1,450 for a one-bedroom and $1,250 to $1,900 for a two-bedroom, making this one of the more affordable rental markets between Fort Worth and Arlington. Renters with a difficult history should expect risk fees or an extra deposit at some communities, which increases move-in costs beyond base rent. We explain every fee upfront so there are no surprises at the application stage. ### What areas close to Kennedale have more second-chance apartment options? + South Arlington and Southeast Fort Worth are the strongest adjacent markets for second-chance renters. Both carry dense older Class B and C apartment stock with individual and small-portfolio management that conducts manual, case-by-case review. They are minutes away via US-287 and I-20 and serve the same job corridors residents in this area use. We routinely search them alongside local inventory in every search to maximize your options. ### Should I look at South Arlington instead? + If your priority is the widest selection of second-chance communities, South Arlington along Cooper St, Matlock Rd, and Pioneer Pkwy offers far more inventory at similar rents, with the same easy commute to the I-20 and US-287 job corridors. We include South Arlington in every local search automatically. If you specifically need a Kennedale address, we focus there first and expand to the adjacent markets if we need more options. ### Is your locating service really free? + Yes, completely free for renters. We are paid a referral commission from the property's marketing budget when you sign a lease, so you pay nothing for our search, screening research, or application guidance. ### How do you keep me from wasting application fees? + We confirm a property's actual screening criteria before you apply and only send you where your specific situation fits. Because application and admin fees are non-refundable, pre-screening against real approval criteria is the biggest way we save you money. ## Nearby Areas We Also Cover If Kennedale isn't the right fit, here are the next areas we search. ### South Arlington Tarrant County [South Arlington →](/service-areas/south-arlington/) ### Forest Hill [Forest Hill →](/service-areas/forest-hill/) ### Southeast Fort Worth [Southeast Fort Worth →](/service-areas/southeast-fort-worth/) ## Kennedale Service Area Map ## Start Your Free Kennedale Apartment Search Tell us about your situation and we'll match you only with properties that approve renters like you, free of charge.
