Single Mom Looking for Rental - Advice needed

Hi

I’m looking for some advice. I’m a single mom of an 11 year old, I’m making around $20 an hour working between 10-30 hours weekly. I can’t provide paystubs to this effect but I do have a child support order for $2100 a month plus I earn the child tax credit of $750 and I’m hoping to qualify for the rental support.

My biggest issue is finding someone who will return my messages and call for a rental. Then those who do, stop responding almost immediately. It seems they screen me out before even talking to me and I can’t get a chance to even see a place.

Does anyone have any advice for me? What can I say on applications and messages to get their attention?

I’m seeing rentals for between $1500 and $2000 that I am interested in.
