I assume you meant you didn't like most of the advice, not only mine (BTW, I admit to being more curious than knowlegable).

Question: Isn't Turnipmonster's advice reasonable?

When I lived in LA I had a hell of a time getting an apartment. They wouldn't accept six months advance rent and didn't care anything about bank statements or the like. They wanted to see pay-check stubs or my income tax returns. This was the case day after day, apartment after apartment.

20 odd years ago in a different city, I was upfront and told an apartment manager I played poker for a living. He said it was a tough decision, but that he'd hate to lose a good tennant and went ahead and rented to me. I can't imagine that happening today.

I am only speaking from personal experience.
