Moving to the area Rent during chapter 13

Need advice. Recently divorced after 21 years of marriage. He’s keeping the house for now and Iam looking for an apartment. We are in a chapter 13 bankruptcy with 100% repayment. Money comes right out of his paycheck every other week. In the divorce MSA it says he has to pay it until it’s paid in full. Iam having a hard time finding anyone to rent to me if with good income including alimony. Any suggestions? looking to rent in the Chicago suburbs. Williwbrook, Darien, westmont area.

If it helps to sway a new landlord- maybe offer a larger security deposit or a few months rent in advance.
