How to Handle Renting to Waiters?

[Louis Aller]

How do you handle getting applicants from waiters/waitresses and other jobs that are partially/mainly paid in cash? It doesn't quite seem fair to completely exclude people who earn 3x rent but obviously can't substantiate this with paystubs. Yet we are running business and have qualifying criteria for a reason. How have other landlords been handling this sort of thing?

Ask for a copy of their tax return.
