Hey friends, longtime lurker who has been inspired by this sub so many times and has gotten tons of help reading past posts. Well...I've run into an issue I can't really seem to find any input on the internet about... So I am in the process of relocating to a new city to be with my partner, only about an hour and a half a way. I have been planning on this for awhile now and have some cash set aside so I can spend a good amount of time adjusting to the move, getting to the know city, as well as having quality time to spend with friends before I leave...
Well, we've hit a road block I was not anticipating. Apartment complexes are straight up saying "no" to me because I do not have a monthly income (I left my job on the 20th of last month). My partner has one but doesn't meet the required 3x the rent they are looking for. I asked complexes if I can pay in advance, starting with 3 months, going to 6, and then just offer the whole year because I have enough to do so. They are saying no and rejecting us.
Is there any way around this? I am also a student and wondering if I can bring that up? Maybe I'm not asking the right way or they think Im doing something illegal? LOL. Right now I just applied to GrubHub and was planning on using that as a "monthly income" but I'm not sure what they would accept as proof if I haven't started working yet. If anyone has suggestions I would love to hear,
thank you!!!
