if you rent a home and you tell them you make more than u actually do but have another tenant adding income to

Question

pay the rent do you think they will still use you? if you have bad credit but perfect rental history?

Answer 1

Most landlords expect to have control over who will occupy the home. Additional tenent/roomates will often violate the lease. Lease violations are nearly as bad as poor rental history. That is gettingoff on the wrong foot. You should give full disclosure as to who will occupy the home to avoid a management notice to vacate for lease violation later.
Show the other adult occupants and their income in your applications. (truley, you should want them to be responsible for the lease terms as much as the landlord).

Your credit history will have influence, but so will an excellent rental history.

Be honest as to WHY your credit history is less than desirable (some explanations are very understandable) and what you are doing to imporove it.

You may be approved but with a higher deposit and or a conditional lease (usually month to month)

Answer 2

Well, they usually ask for check stubbs. So you cant just tell them you make more moeny than you do. Sorry.

Also, another tenant would need to be on the lease- and then you could use their income.

As far as the credit, they might ask for an additional deposit.
