Will I get approved to rent based off of a temp-to-perm job?
Hi all, hope you don’t mind me chiming in here as a tenant.
I’m looking to apply at an apartment complex that uses Yardi to screen tenants. They claim they don’t make the decision and rather Yardi just gives the an answer.
I am trying to raise my income enough to qualify for an apartment. I have one steady job but it doesn’t put me at 3x the rent.
I’m looking for a second job and have been offered a temp-to-perm role that starts with a 4-5 month contract. The idea is that if successful, you then onboard as a full employee after that.
These two jobs together put me over 3x the rent.
But it occurred to me that only 4-5 months of guaranteed income might not be considered good enough?
Has anyone encountered this? How does Yardi account for that?
I’d appreciate any feedback. I’m in somewhat of a desperate situation and strongly prefer not to rent with roommates after some bad experiences.
Thank you!
