Here, in the area that I live in and most places that some relatives and some friends live at rental housing are based on how much you earn and your credit score. One of the qualifications is that you have to earn three times the rent amount!
That's insane!
That should be capped. People that have low incomes can make it paying their rent and utilities with out making three times the rent amount but cannot qualify to move in to an apartment or rental house. That's not fair!
That is why in some places there are a lot of homeless people!
Do you know of any places that don't require the three times the rent amount that are in descent area's?

Some of the rental places here also require that your vehicle can't be older than five years old! When I asked why, they said they don't want pieces of junk parked in front of the rental places or it would bring their housing prices down!

@dfollin In the 40 years I've owned vehicles, I've only bought one brand new vehicle. Most of the time I buy nice, older cars and keep them running until they die.

@DaddyEvil Same here. Actually the only new car I had my husband had bought for me. I insisted that we couldn't pay the high payments. He got it and we only had it 5 months till it was repoed!

I'm glad that isn't true here. My family(my daughter and grandson) and I are lucky to have a Section 8 voucher and a three-bedroom apartment. I wish that the area where you live had this Section 8 program.

We don't have that qualifications in our place. I am renting a house and the owner did not asked me how much I am earning. Perhaps that's one way of knowing if one can afford the rent or establishing the capacity to pay of the tenant.

That's why I hate renting cause they have such rules
& regulations, I use to live in rented apts & houses &
back then they had crazy stuff they expected
you to follow & after I got older I made it a point to
NEVER rent again ! ! now we have our own place.
