He's saying that 760 is the optimal score for buying a home, not renting one -- the "new 720." For apartments (and, presumably, other rentals), he cites mid-to-high 600s, which seems more reasonable.

Our office processes over 300 per month on average and the typical credit rating is between 550-620. The number of applicants who hit 680 or higher is only about 5%.

If they have a 760 score they can buy 760 may be the new 720 but I never expected 720 from a renter.As Illustria said I think a good rental history is just as important.

If they have a 760 score they can buy

Tenants are risk vs. reward. Lower credit score just means more onerous lease terms to me -- first and last plus 1.5 months security deposit, maybe. I agree with Illustria that prior renting history matters more, irrespective of FICO score. Not only does 760 seem extremely high, but it’s just one end of the equation. Tenants are risk vs. reward.

The most important thing should be past rental history. To be honest…760 is a rather high score to expect these days…especially in this economy.
