some people would just rather not take the risk. Having been around people that have problems with tenants, I can understand these people's reasons for not renting their places out to you.

First of all, I'd suggest ALWAYS dressing nicely and look your best whenever you go to see a place you're looking to rent. I guarantee you if you would have showed up in a dress shirt and some nice pants, with your hair done, and acted politely to them, you'd be in a completely different situation. And do NOT bring a skateboard. Whether it's your form of transportation or not... and no matter how much you don't like it, it will not help your cause. Kids with skateboards have a negative stereotype, whether it's fair or not.

First impressions count a lot, especially the way you look, even though you think it might not be fair.

Why take a chance on you, when it's not hard to find someone else to rent their place? No matter how much it might upset you, if you look like a young guy who might like partying, they're gonna ASSUME you are, whether you are or not.

It may not be your style, but if you want to rent a place, show up as nicely dressed as you can, and act like the nicest guy possible.
