I recently moved back to MO
my son had his third daughter and I have been out west or in AK for all of my grandkids lives. The oldest has been working on me for the past year
and I guess she won! Lol
I have convinced my kid to move out of TX but it will probably be about 1 year because they have a newborn.
I am situating in KC MO. Shelling out deposits etc for an apartment would severely affect my savings so I would like to room for about 6 months
or if a good community, longer.
When I moved to WA almost 7 years ago a DU member gave me a contact and viola I got my place to stay and lived out a 1 year lease.
Another barrier to getting my own apartment is the fact I have a brand new job. Starting today. So even though I have the money for the deposits I dont have proof of income they will be wanting.
My job is in the Gladstone area of KC MO so within ten miles of there would be ideal.
Thanks for reading and sharing if you have a contact. I have excellent roommate and rental references too.
Edit: I am a bartender but the new job is at a nice Italian restaurant that closes at 8 weeknights and 9 weekends. So no 2am closes
and Ill have 40 hrs.

(2,308 posts)I had a new job but hadn't started yet. The apartment agency accepted a letter from the company stating that I was employed and what my salary was...
Just a thought. Good luck!
I do have a call in to an apartment complex in the area to see what exactly they might need and that idea hadnt crossed my mind yet.
Bravo and TU!

(9,546 posts)Your last 2 to 4 recent paycheck stubs should work and perhaps a print-off of current bank statement(s) should help to prove that you can currently afford to rent. Of course, I would white-out account number and possible routing numbers for protection. As long as your name and current funds are available to read on bank statement, that should be sufficient.
Good luck!
