Requirements for the rent application and employment verification

[Yulia Kaygorodtseva]

What are your requirements for the application process?  I have put the following list, am I missing anything?

• Completely filled out Residential Lease Application
• 2 years of employment in the same industry
• Must have a checking account for rent payments
• A copy of current Drivers License or Approved Government picture ID must be presented for each adult applicant 18 or over, at the time of applicatio
• Contact numbers for the last 2 years of landlord rental references. This should include the previous landlord's cell phone number if possible.
• Copy of their last 2 months paystubs as employment verification
• 2 years of tax returns, if self employed
• Signed authorization to release personal information form,
• Must have enough cash for 2 months rent
• Monthly income totals at least three times monthly rent

When you call their job/office, do you ask to talk to the HR department ? how do you verify the employment? what if they give me a number of their best friend....?

thank you!!
