To the providers on the board, I would like to know how you've been able to secure apartments in the city?

I have a friend that needs to rent an apartment asap but she has no paychecks to show as proof of income, which everyone had been asking her for. So I was wondering if any of the providers here may have come across this problem before. If so how did you work around it?

Ive used my bank statements before. It showed income coming in.
