1) Can I find an apartment with no job, but with almost 2 years rent available?

2) Can I find an apartment with a work at home job. What do I need to show them...? Bank statements to prove I can pay? thanks.

as long as u can prove u can pay, should be no problem

references from previous rentals as well

as for the work at home job- depends what it is- some places/councils wont let u work from home without relevant permits. some rental leases stipulate that the property is used for domestic purposes only.

i havent been much help, have i

my rental agent just left- 6mth inspection pass

I rented an apartment before I had my first job but the agent required someone to sign as guarantor for it, which a friend of my parents so kindly did for me.
Do you have tax returns showing your yearly income from your work at home?

I *cough* am planning to uh get started with it in June. So I'm not sure how much I will bring in. I lost my last job in march and was there for almost 2 years. My mom is forcing me to go on a cruise with her during the summer. I told her no, but she still paid for it and is stitching me a dress. I guess she rather have me leave. She doesn't listen to me. I hope to find something by August 1st.

yes, I have around that much available for rent. I don't think I should pay that much upfront...but I heard they have 6-month and 12 month leases.

but u usually only have to have first and last mths rent in advance.

here in australia we need a bond (4 weeks rent) and usually 2-4 weeks rent in advance.
