what options are available for a home loan with poor credit but a good rental history?

why not just do an fha loan? the minimum credit score is 580, and you can sometimes even go lower than that. another alternative is to consider a rent-to-own agreement with his landlord, since it sounds like if he doesn't buy he'd continue renting there anyway.
