At a minimum they should at least force you to submit a financial report and show that you couldn't pay your rent. Back when the housing bubble burst, I knew people who stopped paying their mortgage because the only way to qualify for a short sale was if you weren't paying your mortgage. They could still afford to pay it, they just felt like moving and didn't want to lose money on the house.

- duskwuff 5y agoIf anything, adding an intrusive means test (like a "financial report") is likely to exclude a lot of deserving renters, especially ones who are unbanked/underbanked.
