Required Documents

✓ Last 2 paystubs (W-2) or 2 years tax returns (1099 / self-employed)
✓ Employment verification letter (W-2)
✓ Government-issued photo ID (driver's license, passport, or state ID)
✓ FCRA-compliant credit report (hard pull with consent)
✓ Eviction history check (state court records)
✓ Prior landlord references (2 previous tenancies, if any)
✓ Bank statements (2 months) — supplementary
✓ Section 8 voucher if applicable (Source-of-Income protected in many states)

Red Flags

✗ Credit score below 600 without a strong compensating factor (deposit, cosigner, prepay)
✗ Any prior eviction judgment (state-court filing, even dismissed, warrants deep review)
✗ Gap between stated income and reported income (paystubs vs. application)
✗ Reluctance to provide prior-landlord contact info
✗ Rush on the timeline with no job-start reason
✗ Asking to pay entire lease in cash upfront (AML / source-of-funds concern)
✗ Application addresses mismatch with government ID
✗ Cosigner cannot document 5x monthly rent in income (cosigner bar is higher than applicant)
✗ Move-in date flexible beyond 45 days without reason (possible shopping other units)
