Some company paystubs have specific characteristics that are embedded in the document that make them a bit different.

All you need is a single place to track tenant information, payment history, maintenance, and other things.

@Stefano Vrolijk it all depends on your credit history, whether you have an SSN/ ITIN and how much you can put down.

However, aside from that, I couldn’t find much information about them, and the only online presence seems to be the wife’s LinkedIn profile (though I’ve never met her in person and am just going off her profile picture on Zillow).After submitting the application through Zillow, we attached our income (two months of pay stubs for each of us from our current jobs), work references, credit and criminal background, rental history, and the contact info for our current landlord (who just so happens to be my fiancé’s father).

What documents do they require, what credit scores do they allow, how do they verify previous rental history, etc.?

You only need a place to track tenant information, payment history, maintenance, etc.

What documents do they require, what credit scores do they allow, how do they verify previous rental history, etc.?

The program is designed to assist low-income families, and these benchmarks might exclude a lot of qualified people.That said, the requirement for stable rental and work history is reasonable, but you might consider relaxing the credit score or income requirements since Section 8 guarantees a portion of the rent.

We are only allowed to screen non-tenant applicants for criminal and rental history, nothing financially related.
