Reply to comment by RealtorInMA in What gives, landlords?? by Ecofolux2427

Sure, and that's why most landlord don't want to bother with the hassle. That said, if OP were offered a lease, signed it and then wrote a check for the full balance of the lease- there's nothing illegal about it- it's just stupid.

Point being, landlord legally cannot use it as a screening criteria, which is why OP cannot use it to circumvent LL's screening criteria.

Be that as it may, there may be some small time landlords who are willing to take the chance, but as OP is finding, they generally consider it odd and don't want to take it into consideration.
