LANDLORD GUIDE
This APOA guide is general community education for landlords. It is not legal, financial, or tax advice. Please check current state rules and seek qualified advice for your own situation.
Income and employment can be checked through payslips, employment letters, bank statements, accountant letters for self-employed applicants, and reference checks where appropriate.
Landlords should look for consistency between stated income, employment history, household size, and proposed rent.
If information is unclear or incomplete, ask follow-up questions before making a decision.
