Apartments in Austin that work with Rental Collections

Hello,
So I'm moving down to Austin in a few months and am trying to find a place, about 5 years ago when I was in college I had an student apartment and had been there for a year and a half when I signed the lease for another year that would start at the end of my current lease. Shortly after I found out my Dad had terminal cancer so I had to move back to take care of him. I let the property know that I would be moving out at the end of my current lease and I even offered to pay 2-3 months rent to break the upcoming lease prior to it starting and this was all 3-6 months prior to it starting. It was an incredibly predatory company and they refused to let me out of it on any condition. When my lease ended I moved to take care of my Dad and they sent the entire next lease amount to collections without attempting to find another tenant which mind you is against rental laws in Colorado. So I'm actively contesting this with Experian but I get auto declined from most apartments I apply to because it's still on my report, my credit isn't awful I'm at about a 675 right now which is also largely impacted by that.

Does anyone know any apartments in Austin that would work with me? Money would not be an issue I could easily pay extra upfront or whatever else they need. I'd be looking for a 1bd 1 bath or a 2bd 1 bath that has a in unit washer and dryer and A/C. My budget would be something under $2000 a month
