I never thought of having this problem. I have saved quite a nice savings over the years but I would never submit that amount for information as that is personal and private. It looks like I must look into another option (area) where the rental requirements are not based on income but rather past financial history such as where I have been living without any problem. So much for retirement and being 73. Thanks for your input.  |
If you have adequate savings, make an offer to pay a full year in advance.
I once advertised a rental with the requirement that the (lowered) rent be paid one year in advance.
The ad found an area contractor who gave me a trouble-free rental for 1½ years. 'Best move I'd ever made as a landlord!
