What income sources are accepted?

We require all rental applicants to have stable & recurring income. The applicant's total income must be at least 3x the monthly rent amount.

Here are some examples of reliable sources of income:

1. Part-Time or Full-Time/Salary Employment (including self-employment).
2. Pension or disability.
3. Secondary employment.
4. Housing vouchers.
5. Additional sources of secondary income (alimony, child support, etc.).
   1. Only when this income is not considered the primary/sole source of income.

Here are some examples of unreliable sources of income:

1. 401k or IRA balances.
2. Stimulus checks.
3. Unemployment.
4. Or any other non-recurring, inconsistent income source.

Do I need to include any documents?
