Subletting affect eligibility? (real estate, apartment, rental)

[trinibajan88]

Good day,

I've been receiving a mixed response about whether subletting can affect you down the line if selected in the lottery. My concern is documentation - in my current situation I'm subletting (rent and utilities included) and I don't have much in terms of paperwork (outside of receipts/statements). As my roommates are the leaseholders, should I be listing one of their names as the person I'm paying rent to or management?



Thank you for any assistance.

for proof of residence i was asked to provide

*

Copy of your current lease, if you rent your own apartment. If you do not have a lease, a notarized letter from your landlord.

*

Copies of your most recent electric and gas bills (in your name and showing your current address).

*

If you do not rent your own apartment and you are living with someone else, bring a notarized letter from your housemate along with a copy of their lease and copies of their utility bills.

for proof of ability to pay rent i was given 2 options.

Applicants have the choice of either providing 12 months of complete rent payments or consenting to a credit review.

« Option 1 - If you wish to provide rental payment history, you must bring:

1.

Proof of the amount you are supposed to pay in rent monthly, like your lease, a notarized affidavit from the building owner or manager, etc.

AND

2.

Proof that you have paid the full rent each month for the last 12 months. For example:

o Formal rent receipts

o Evidence of monthly withdrawals, payments, or transfers, e.g., bank statements

o Money order receipts or copies

o Canceled checks

o Landlord’s written record of rent payments, i.e., rent ledger


« If the evidence of rent payments that you provide is incomplete or difficult to verify, you may provide your written consent to the Marketing Agent to contact your current/previous building owner or manager for a rent ledger.



« Option 2 - If you do not wish to provide rental payment history, or are unable to, you may consent to a credit review.



« Has another building manager, owner, real estate broker, or other building representative run a credit check for you within the last 30 days?

o Yes: bring your copy of the credit check. You could avoid an additional credit check and fee.

o No: be prepared to pay the non-refundable credit check fee of $20.00 (maximum)
