I don't think telling a landlord you are unemployed is going to get you an apartment.

"Independently wealthy"

u/JeebusChristBalls 1h ago

Then you would have proof of funds... and you probably wouldn't be renting.

This is....so wrong lol. Just because people can afford to settle down and own doesn't mean it makes sense for them.

Tons of working professionals rent bc they are constantly on the move. Your worldviews are really really wrong my guy.

I love that this is the new talking point now that home ownership is dying

•

u/South-Bass-9536 36m ago

Or some people just want to rent. Not everyone wants to deal with a house.

Working professionals does not equal independently wealthy. Independently weathy was the excuse for not having a job or being home during the day in the thread that you responded to me in. Working professionals are not unemployed by definition and if they were independently wealthy, why would they be working professionals? But thanks for the "akshooaly" reply.

If i was 'independently wealthy' I wouldn't mind living in SF for a year or two. Its good to travel.

If you have proof of funds, it should be fine honestly.

Incredibly out of touch comment. Anyone who has navigated the hell scape of apartment hunting in the modern era knows how fucked it is.

People get co-signers all the time?

I recently got my first apartment. It was so easy and smooth. What is the hell scape you’re experiencing?

Stick to topics you know about, like your fancy cheeses and tiki bars.

u/Outrageous_Sleep4339 1h ago

And you stick to getting mad about people talking about lease requirements on the internet...

•

u/NanoscaleHeadache 53m ago

Oooh he’s obsessed with you! Enough to stalk your profile lmao

•

u/buttchuck 16m ago

Genuinely, why would you speak confidently on a topic you don't know about? What's the logic behind it?

•

u/Outrageous_Sleep4339 11m ago

What don't I know about? I've used proof of assets to get leases before. It's not really that weird.

•

u/buttchuck 10m ago

How long has it been since you've done that?

u/JeebusChristBalls 1h ago

If your daddy is paying your rent, you likely don't have proof of funds or else you wouldn't need your parents to pay your rent. If you want to use your daddy for tent, they are likely going to want them on the lease somehow.

u/violetslush 1h ago

it’s called co-signing

u/JeebusChristBalls 1h ago

Yes, that is one option.

u/Single-Hovercraft-33 1h ago

I've never needed a guarantor, but I've been one for others. It's common.

u/esem86 1h ago

Called a co-signer. Still fairly common. Do people not know this exists or something?

•

u/JeebusChristBalls 59m ago

Yes, I know what a co-sign is. That is a way or just being on the lease is another.

u/facw00 1h ago

I rented my current apartment while unemployed, and was open about that. Wasn't a problem, they didn't even make me have a cosigner. I did show them proof of assets, and they were happy with that.

•

u/FantasyFI 53m ago

You don't tell them until after you sign the lease!

•

u/oldsecondhand 32m ago

"passive income"

u/peelen 17m ago

Yeah, but "my dad sends me money every month" should fix the problem.
