How do you rent apartments in SF when self-employed?
InclinedPlane: If you have steady income, use your tax documents and bank records to prove your income.If you don't have income, can you afford the rent through the termination of the lease? If you may not be able to, then you might need to room with someone else or get a cosigner for your lease. If you can then find out whether you can place a deposit or pay in advance (e.g. last months, last 2 months, etc.)
