Founder Bubba Grimsley, a trial lawyer who represented the victims of the early 2000’s housing crisis, saw the need firsthand. “Our clients were losing their homes and couldn’t get approved for new apartments at resident screening. I assumed there must be a solution for these situations, but there wasn’t.”

Liberty Rent was created to fulfill that unmet need in the rental market, built on the belief that it could help both renters and multifamily properties could succeed together.

This belief became our mission — to open doors for renters who deserve a second chance, while helping properties fill more homes with qualified residents.

From the beginning, what has set Liberty Rent apart is how hands-on we are at every stage of the process. For over a decade, we’ve provided real support from real people to make sure the process is smooth and easy for both properties and applicants.

We were the first company to offer this valuable service, and our experience has shaped us into the trusted partner we are today. The best part? The applicants we approve have proven that people with unique financial circumstances make excellent residents.

Since 2014, we’ve partnered with thousands of properties to say “yes” to nearly 50,000 applicants who needed our support. Each approval represents a family housed, a property’s performance boosted, and a community strengthened.
