I'm looking for apartments to rent out and I found this beaitiful place located close to the centre of the city and costing $1300/months. Which is a lot. In the ad he said: "The apartment comes fully furnished with high speed internet, big TV, console games, big gym in the basement of the building and much more. Send me a mail with a short introduction of yourself and I will call you to see the apartment. When we meet please bring an employers number, a salary specification, references from previous landlords if you have and documents so I can ask for a credit report (I will send you the documents if needed).
He called me and I asked him if he was serious with all the requests. He said: "I am sure you are a nice, honest and decent person. But not everyone is. I've had people who lie about their jobs, who lie about how much they make and people who have zero respect for the apartment. This is nothing personal against you. It's just an insurance for me".
And another thing is that he is young, 27 years old and is renting out a place like this. Do you think he is exaggerating?
Do you think this landlord is exaggerating? He wants a referance, an employers number and salary specification?

You don't have to look around this board long to see that the lessor is likely not exaggerating. And even if they were, it doesn't matter to you - at all. If you're unhappy with the perfectly reasonable background check he's trying to conduct, find a lessor who likes to play it fast and loose with their investment.
If you're being honest with the lessor, what's your objection to complying?

It sounds like he is just covering his bases. Unless you have something to hide, it won't hurt to provide him with this information. We've had to give the same in the past for landlords.

No. He sounds like a smart landlord. This is common practice for nice apartments to verify a prospective tenant is a quality person and able to easily afford the rent from regular income. If he doesn't he can easily allow a dead beat tenant to move in and it will cost him to get rid of him/her.

sounds like he is trying to sublet some of his apartment which may or may not be legal for him to do which even he could get away with renting to you the gym in the building and other amenities may NOT be available to you so the price of $1300 fully furnished etc sounds high for the rental of a room, surely not the entire apartment unless this is a studio which you definitely DO NOT want to rent with him

No,he is being a very good business man. He is asking for all the normal
requirements up front. Why waste your time and his?
Show him 2 weeks of pay stubs to prove your income. He will likely require the
usual monthly income of 3 times the amount of the monthly rent payment. Expect
to give a security deposit equal to the monthly rent, as well as first and last.

Most successful landlords require these items. Landlords want to be as sure as possible that you are able to pay the monthly rent and if your current and past landlords had any financial or other problems with you while you were a tenant of theirs.
Running background and credit checks are normal, As well requesting proof of a job and income by requesting pay stubs and in some cases.federal income tax returns and W-2 forms. There are many fake documents around today. These documents are issued b y someone else and can be verified.
Landlords do not ant to have tenants that would tear up their rental unit and screen them very carefully.
I take my screening a little further, I actually visit potential tenants, current residence to see how they live and are taking care of their current rental.
If it is out of the ordinary, chances are this applicant would not be renting one of my rentals.
Apparently this rental is on the high end for your area as yo mention in your statement that this is a lot. Your potential landlord is protecting his investment as well as those of his current tenants.
In residing in this type rental with the rent being as it is, would you want to have less than stellar tenants living in this complex with you?
I hope this has been of some benefit to you good luck.

No, he is not exaggerating at all. He is obviously either an experienced or educated landlord. If you don't provide all of the info he is requesting, you won't be approved for residency and will have wasted both your time.
