Most apartment complexes would not let you rent unless you have an employed co-signer. You might be able to find an individual that you can sweet talk into letting you rent while you find employment.
Although, money talks put up enough up front and they might not even ask. |

Yeah you need a job. Most places require you to have been with that same job for at least one year straight. |

Some will, but you have to pay up a few months in advance. |

Generally, yes, you have to prove you either have enough money to cover the term of the lease or enough income to cover the rent each month. |

If you have the money to pay a year up front they more than likely wont ever deny you no matter what your credit is. |

no you don't have to be employed. But you would have to show a regular income stream. |

Well you need to have SOME kind of income, but it's best if you are employed so they will see that you are responsible. |

Just about everyone wants to rent to the employed to ensure that the rent has a better chance of actually being paid. You may be able to get a month to month rental if you pay in advance. There's also the chance that you wouldn't want to live in some of the places that would not require employment. If your "eventually get a job" means just a few months, you can probably pre-pay rent at a decent place and get a job within that time frame. Otherwise you probably need to get the job first and then move out. |

More than likely you would need to be employed, in your situation, they might allow it with a larger deposit, but not sure. |

No, you have to have proof of employment. |

9 times out of 10 most apartments, landlords or anybody willing to rent their property out, want to know that the tenant has the means to pay the rent and to continue paying the rent. If you have a set amount of money in your bank account, how will you prove (on paper) to a leasing consultant that 1.) you will find a job by the time the money you have saved up is gone and 2.) you won't take the money you have saved up and spend it on something else.
Employment is the only way they can prove you have a steady source of income coming in. Good Luck |

you dont necessarily need to be employed but you need to have a source of income to prove you can afford the rent. |

Different property management companies have different standards. Many will allow you to move in with a few (3-6) months prepayment. If your credit is poor, however, most will require a guarantor. This guarantor signs onto the lease and is responsible for all aspects of the lease being adhered to. Frequently they must own property within the state so that the management company has real property to attach a lien to in the event of non-payment of rent or damage to the unit upon vacating. Cash in the bank will do you no good. Cash in the management company's hand may buy you a few months to get a job. |

If you were willing to pay the years rent up front then as a landlord I would rent to you. If not, I would require you have a job. The money in the bank could be withdrawn and spent tomorrow. |

No. Just look at Paris Hilton and K-Fed. |
