I don't like staying in high class areas, and so I go for minimalistic med-low income rentals. As long as it's safe. I know that many apartments will ask for proof of income. But let's say I'm fortunate to get a TC $200k offer, I wouldn't want people there to know that I earn $200k especially if that's 2-3x their resident average TC. Makes you a target for robbery and such. Also if my TC is too high they might jack up my rates more than others just to milk me. Has anyone thought about this before?
Then just declare the very minimum TC that would ensure you get approved and doesn’t seem too high. Ask them what they’re looking for (eg “minimum 4x rent”) and declare that. M
The last apartment I rented wanted to see my offer letter with TC...
i declare bankruptcy!! you can declare whatever you want as long as you can substantiate with paystubs of last 3 months
There’s probably a lot of people with higher tc staying there as well. I rented a cheap apartment last time. Saw a lot of poorer folks, but also quite a few maserati and Teslas in the parking lots.
You people are funny, just print out a paystub you made yourself it you are really worried but you are re-tarded for even thinking about this 😂😂😂
1. Falsifying documents is a crime and could lead to serious consequences. Even if you’re marking numbers down. 2. While I agree OP might be thinking too much into this, I can see their point and it’s not “re-tarded”
1 is the funny part. Knowing the law and repeating out of context stupidity are not the same thing.
You're not that rich
I don't think it's funny. All they need to verify is you make enough money to pay rent. I printed a pay stub blacking out all text except the final amount on stub, so they shouldn't know any more than that to see you can pay rent.
They can still infer your TC from the net payments. Regardless, point is OP doesn’t want to disclose their real income.
Yea they may be able to but not the amounts you put into 401k, FSA. Or bonus or RSU if they are on the stub, you can blackout all that info.
Rofl
You show them your base when requested. TC is a bullshit metric that thrives only on Blind.
chances are they have seen better numbers than your meager 200k tc. find something else to worry about!
