@Tanya Rotella - A bit about the NHSaves program, from my experience:1) Qualification is dependent entirely on the building, and not on the person applying.

The postings are also very clear about our qualifications:- Income > 3x rent- Credit score of 600+- Must pass a background check and have no evictions in the last 7 yearsWe've had multiple open houses and despite probably 50+ inquiries online, have had almost nobody show up to the open houses.

I've had my share of scary applicants (as I am sure anybody has renting in C class) but that is what screening and qualification criteria are for.As anybody who has read this far can tell I am a bit of a booster for SP.   

As fora job, what are your certifications/qualifications?
