My finances are my problem. All a landlord needs to know is that I am willing to pay what they are asking. It is my problem to actually pay the money. There are lifestyles in which you don’t have the ability to show someone a pay stub, and can still pay rent on time every month.
That is why things like credit checks exist. It’s a way to verify that a person has kept their finances in order and are responsible enough to pay their bills on time.
You know what place doesn’t? A place where your landlord requests your salary documentation.
If that doesn’t happen where you live, then this warning is meaningless to you. If it does, it’s an appropriate thing to warn people about given the enthusiasm surrounding this post.
Can’t afford to buy, can’t meet exaggerated rent criteria,…, profit? I did see a nice rock i might be able to live under, as long as the HOA fees aren’t too bad.
It’s a rental from a landlord who wants your private info. Fuck em.
A landlord shouldn’t need to know that you can/can’t afford the lease you’re agreeing to pay for?

That info isn’t private if you’re trying to rent somewhere. Proving your ability to pay is pretty fuckin baseline man
And yes this is a fraudulent claim, and if caught can have severe consequences, as it’s perjury and can also result in immediate eviction.
This is not a viable option that should be taken seriously. This is a joke on Twitter.
To add: despite how you feel ideologically about this, “the court system” does not care how much you downvote it.
Only here would an actual warning about actual legal consequences be met with “fuck off I’m a pirate yarrr” and downvotes lol
fuck off I’m a pirate yarrr
Many places have laws to protect tenants from shit like that. Where I am, it’s illegal for a landlord to ask for your salary, for example.

Nobody is forcing you to rent. Landlords have the right to know if their prospective tenants can afford their lease

Bootlicker alert
You’re right I’m not being forced to rent, so long as I’m ok living on the street
I agree in principle but rent is so crazy high right now I also don’t fault anyone for falsifying data in order to get a roof over their head.
The market is so out of whack the normal rules don’t apply.
How does that boot taste?
