Proof of Income?

Hi, It was suggested that I move this thread over from the Powder Room:

The time has come to renew my lease and I am only wanting to switch buildings. However, my Apartment complex requires me to submit a new application. Does anyone have advice for showing proof of income? Like check stubs, or letters of verification?

ive had problems with this as well if you find something out let me know please i too have to move soon.

Do a search on INCOME and maybe EMPLOYMENT in this forum, it might be helpful. The sandbox and COED forums in Dallas may also be helpful. Many of these are in the light of trying to get a loan on a car, but the underlying issue is the same.

Good luck, not sure any of these discussions really came up with a short term answer.

Couple of threads I found on this topic:

I work for myself too......

The best thing to do next year is figure out a name for your enterprise. Then hire someone, an (Accountant) to help you file a return. You do not have to tell anyone what you do, but you have to have a reason for generating income. Come up with something.... underwater basket weaver, social planer.... etc......

Short term for the immediate create some fake paycheck stubs, ( computer) keep your pay to real world prices like 500 bucks a week for the job you are creating on your computer, ( you could be the waitress at slippery dicks in Onlaska TX) if you are no good with type of stuff..... you have to, have a friend that can help you figure it out......

My last time in apartment land was a long time ago, but if you have been on time with your rent and been there a while.... there should be no hassel. it is to their bennifit to have you as a Tenant, vs empty apartment... unless you are a problem tenant .

I simply say that I'm self employed and offer bank statements with my regular deposits. I haven't had an issue.
