That’s possible but probably if they’re not super confident you’ll be able to make payments they’re confident they can get someone else

If you were a landlord why would you rent to someone who makes less than someone who makes more

My point is, just because you make more, doesn't mean you have more. If you were a landlord, would you rather rent your $1,500 studio to someone making 3K a month with an 800 credit score and a net worth over 100K, or rent to someone making 5K a month with a 650 credit score with barely 5K in the bank and a $500+ a month car payment?

The reason I say this is because I have several friends who make 2-3x as much as I do, but they're terrible with their money.

issue is that there is just so many people trying to rent that they can easily find renters

If they couldn't fill units with their rigid criteria - they wouldn't be so rigid. The market here is wild... Hope you can sort it out
