Tenant applicant has no job going back to school
This makes it a challenge as there is no income verification possible.
I am going to ask for tax returns last few years to see previous income levels.
But without income, applicant says she has enough funds saved up.
I am on the fence on this one.
I haven't check anything yet, I will - if I decide to not reject her based on no verifiable income - then there is no point checking the rest.
What would you accept as an alternative to income?
Proof of funds for 1 year lease term, say a bank letter saying she has this fund in her account and the average balance over a year?

I heard that people that cannot prove income will put years worth of rent in their lawyer's escrow account and each month the lawyer sends a check to the landlord.
