Not that affording the apartment is what I'm worried about, just that I lose my job right before my lease ends (didn't renew it though) so now I have to go house hunting, with no job :(

I figure a lot of landlords/property management companies will take that as a red flag

Most won't rent to you without the income you can show unless you have a bunch of cash handy to pay months up front

It might be pretty hard. But thats also if they ask about your job.

You need to prove income to rent, so unless you have the cash up front, or someone to co-sign your lease i'd say near impossible.

How are you going to afford the apartment without a job? It sounds like you have a way to pay because of the first sentence on you OP. So, if you do have a way, you could tell them that... as long as its no illegal like selling drugs or something. If you will needs source or income, you could find a job really quick just to prove you can pay while looking for another job... if you dont want to keep the other one... maybe...

I can definitely find a job before then (me lease ends at the end of August) but I'm now searching for apartments so it's not too late. I have enough to hold me over for a couple of months but I know the initial process of employment verification is the deadlock I'm at now. I can wait off until the last minute once I have something set in stone but again there may not be an apartment available at that time

Ah. I see. Yeah. That kinda sucks. I guess you have to start looking. Maybe you can find a job that will hire a little faster than others or something. Good luck. You may also just need a co-signer or something.

Ive had places ask for employment verification before they would allow me to rent from them. Highest I saw was proving I made 3x the rent in a month

Thats weird. 3x could be a lot depending on where you live...

Thats basically standard around here (hermitage tn, its right outside of nashville). There's some places that go 2.5x, but those tend to be made for low-income renters.
