<prompt> Human: Hey friends, longtime lurker who has been inspired by this sub so many times and has gotten tons of help reading past posts. Well...Ive run into an issue I cant really seem to find any input on the internet about... So I am in the process of relocating to a new city to be with my partner, only about an hour and a half a way. I have been planning on this for awhile now and have some cash set aside so I can spend a good amount of time adjusting to the move, getting to the know city, as well as having quality time to spend with friends before I leave... Well, weve hit a road block I was not anticipating. Apartment complexes are straight up saying no to me because I do not have a monthly income I left my job on the 20th of last month. My partner has one but doesnt meet the required 3x the rent they are looking for. I asked complexes if I can pay in advance, starting with 3 months, going to 6, and then just offer the whole year because I have enough to do so. They are saying no and rejecting us. Is there any way around this? I am also a student and wondering if I can bring that up? Maybe Im not asking the right way or they think Im doing something illegal? LOL. Right now I just applied to GrubHub and was planning on using that as a monthly income but Im not sure what they would accept as proof if I havent started working yet. If anyone has suggestions I would love to hear, thank you!!!Assistant: Find a small time landlord or a lower priced place. Paying in advance is generally a poor tactic for the renter, it kills any leverage you might have in a dispute. You might think about trying to get a job in the new city before you move. Human: yeah thats also what ive been trying, looking at a place saturday that I think is privately owned so well see!!! than kyou!  <response>: Big apartment complexes are the worst in my opinion. I only consider them temporary. You definitely need to find a privately owned property. If they are skeptical tell them that you will sign to vacate with 60 days notice at the 6 month period if you havent found suitable employment.
