Screening Waiters & Waitresses (Servers)

[Phineas Howie]

It's a good idea to have a minimum income requirement for your rental, and that all income be verified. But when screening applicants who work as servers in restaurants it can be difficult to verify their full income. That said everyone knows that it's no lie that servers make a large portion if not most of their money in tips. I would like to hear from experienced landlords: How have you dealt with applicants who who's true income consists largely of tips?
