Rep.-elect Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.), the first member of the Gen Z generation elected to Congress, says his apartment rental application was rejected over bad credit. Frost, 25, famously drove an Uber to pay bills while campaigning full time in his district.

The median rent for a studio apartment in Washington is $2,600, compared with $1,646 in Orlando, which is in the district Frost will represent, according to Zillow.com.Lawmakers struggling to find housing in the nation’s capital is a story as old as the congressman-elect.

Frost said he had spoken with Ocasio-Cortez about the housing challenges they experienced, which a number of their colleagues in elected office might not have gone though. One real estate agent contacted by The Post said December is typically very slow for real estate transactions, which can make finding available units challenging.

Maybe YOU can use that BIG MOUTH to teach how to act when stopped by POLICE?

As it should be

Credit is mostly a combination of history of payments and what's your revolving credit percentage. Maxing out all your cards will hurt it, but being lousy on payments is worse.

How does a 25y/o have bad credit?

Yeah this sounds made up.

In the next two years he will be a millionaire and won't have to worry about paying rent.

Maybe he should have been trying to fix his credit.

When I was his age I rented my first apartment and I had no problem. I paid my bills on time. Why does he have bad credit?

I'm surprised he didn't blame it on racism... yet.

Wait a minute! I thought in the systemically racist America that this was impossible?!?! More proof of the lie of Marxist CRT.

NitsuaSetab having been poor, and about to be poor again, i understand. i couldn’t imagine doing my thing back in the day today. i also don’t look forward to it.

If this has been going on for a long time, why isn't there some sort of small apartment complex nearby set up solely for congressional members, who's income is too low or non-existent since being elected to office? CongressionalHousingNeeds SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer AOC

Lmfao. Yeah. Welcome to the world kid.

He'll learn and get it together. In the meantime, his mom mat need to cosign for him.

Rent him a room folks!

You would think, if you have bad credit you aren't responsible enough to represent people.

I find most reps hookup with other reps get a apt together during their time in office.go on site or inquire at the your office ask around a lot of young reps do that

How is this a news🙄

Pick another place, or put on your big boy pants and improve your credit score.

A sample of your Z generation who bluffed all of you and became a Rep ..

The irony: A gifted, authentic man who campaigned on progressive values (like equality) will now benefit from his privileged status as a cong’man featured in WaPo. He’ll be housed by Sunday. Let’s focus on the millions for whom bad credit will deny them housing w/o salvation.

Lolmybuttoff. Welcome to Washington. Lol

Time for him to grow up and be an adult Pay your bills MaxwellFrostFL

And he is the only one responsible for his irresponsible decisions!

mutuma_mathiu See what bad credit does to you. edwinocharo innomo

Understand these folks must have a place to stay in 2 separate locations. This isn't simply about bad credit. As a matter of fact, I doubt that was the sole reason he was denied. There are many ways to play the game. He just sucks at it.

It takes a while to build your credit profile. It's certainly not fair to our youth- GenZ It Shows even more how IMPORTANT student loan forgiveness and reform is.

The most genz thing ever

Wow, trying to keep him down

Credit is a scam period.

And NO ONE can help him?!🤬

Bad credit = irresponsible. Did I miss something, I'm confused.

Had this problem at his age - learned how do overcome it. It's called growing up and being responsible for yourself

Now we can talk about the wealth required to participate in politics. Maintaining a D.C. residence in addition to your home, and we expect people of the people to truly be represented lmfao.... Citizens United, we will always be divided 😂

Wow- that's so cold. It's not a violent criminal background its a bad credit report and what do they consider bad?

Credit ratings need to be overhauled! Their algorithms need to be public information. You shouldn’t have to be in debt to have a good credit rating.

Credit ratings are a scam

rolandsmartin Somebody has a place for him to rent!

Omg…someone start a crowdsource. This is terrible and oh, so American.

Well that’s life buddy. It’s called find a new apartment or do a room share. Also, this isn’t news, this is pure clickbait.

Now he can write legislation to help those who may have bad credit but are discriminated against, like buying a new car, finding suitable housing. Some people who are trying to do right need a fresh start.

He will fit in nicely with his fellow congressman and woman. They apparently don’t understand living within means either

Perhaps he shouldn't have quit his job and screwed up his credit.🤔

Life's tough for the credit unworthy.... “Man is tormented by no greater anxiety than to find someone quickly to whom he can hand over that great gift of freedom with which the ill-fated creature is born.”― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Grand Inquisitor

Y’all still blacklisting TwitterFiles2 ? What happened to the Washington post?

That’s real life so what

I give him credit for not thinking about sleeping in his congressional office like some still do. 🤮

And?...... I find it refreshing he has to endure the same annoyances mere voting mortals have to. Perhaps his credit says 'I don't pay people' and the property owner felt that was important.

Pay your bills like you promised, kid; then you won't have these problems. It's how the world works. You should know that by now.

Just a normal for a lot of ppl Let's judge him on his work from now on

Great time to remind everyone that our credit rating system is a scam set up in the 1980s to profit off Americans. It doesn’t exist in other places and is absolutely a crock of shit.

Hahahahaha truly representative of his voters!

Frost is symbolic of the utter failures boosted by power hungry party-first Dems. Dementia Joe. Mentally disabled socialist Fettermaam. F’ed credit Frost. Utterly unimpressive people that fail their way to the top. Truly disgusting what libs have become

After the execution of MohsenShekhari, yesterday for participating a peaceful protest, now it’s time for another innocent person AliMoazzami, 20, who’s been sentenced to death and is due to be executed tomorrow morning by the IRGC. Call out his name. MahsaAmini

Happens so many ppl because old, young, inbetween have to use credit cards to buy food, rent, car, medical. With rent CA $3500 1 bed who could pay that on tiny wages.

This is real life for most of America

Require FICO score disclosures for candidates.

He’ll fit in perfectly in DC.

time to pay all your annual rent upfront or get a roommate who will front you

The city is allowing homeless to live in tents next to the Capital. That is an option.

Does he have bad credit?
