just go to the apartment you want to rent from and if they do based on income, they can tell you exactly what it would be

Have you tried www.mrlandlord.com? They have all kinds of downloadable forms, as well as a calculator that tells whether or not a prospective tenant can really afford your rent. Good luck.

Ok here goes.  Get a paper and pencil and make a list:\nRent\nUtilities (Elec &/or gas)\nFood (a biggie, don't short yourself!)\nPhone (optional)\nTV/Cable (optional)\nParking (if applicable)\nInsurance (for your car, if applicable)\nAny Payments (car, etc. that may be applicable)\nNow, fill in the projected amounts, based on apartments you have looked at, questions about average utility payments, etc.  Now, talley it up and compare it against your (projected) income.  This will tell you A0. if you can make it, B. what your limitations are, and C. what you can afford as far as housing goes.

Your local Division of Family Services has a WHOLE list of them.\n\nOne of which is Section 8 housing and i$ based on a sliding scale according to your income...or at least that's the way it is here in Missouri.

go to a search engine and type in affordable housing for New Jersey. There is an application to fill out for two types:\n\nRental units usually apartments\n\nThe second being owning and their is various lengthy paperwork to fill out but believe me it is worth it. If you fit into the categories of money (there is a minumum and a max you can make) Then you are all set! Good Luck!!

Different ways.  Have someone co-sign your lease.  Offer a higher security deposit.  Offer a higher rent rate.  Say you'll sign a longer lease term.  Arrange a month to month agreement so you can be easily booted if you fail to pay.  Find a nice place with a 'flexible' manager.  My mother paid $35 application fee, which I'm pretty sure went into the bldg. managers pocket!

First, I'm from Pa. S I dont know the intracacies of Cal law.  But from what I've read and know from experience, I would definitely NOT rent to them.  Let me see!  you're looking for an apt, a $1000 one at that, and you dont have the $$ for the deposit?  Believe me, they won't have the $$ for anything else either.  It seems to me they cant afford tit in the first place.  The fact that you took a partial deposit has no bearing on whether to accept them or not.  BTW, did they fill out a rental ap?  I'll bet any references they gave if any are sketchy at best.  CALL to verify employment or where ever the $$ is coming from. If they cant pass the application phase, they cant afford it.  DO NOT RENT TO THEM UNTIL YOU ARE SURE THEY CAN PAY THE RENT.Better yet, tell them that until you receive the full deposit, you HAVE to keep showing the apt.  If they dont move on that, then consider it a excellent sign that they never had the $$ to begin with.\nI just ask me cousin who lives in LA about this.  She's never heard of such a law and they have rented apts in the past.  Tell them to hit the bricks.

I like the answer above.  To add to it, maybe look for a roommate situation.  Sharing costs is definitely a great way to have a nice place, but pay less for it.

You mean your retired and living on a government check?\n\nIf your living in private housing... They can raise the rent all they want.  Unless your local has rent control laws. \n\nIts called business.

The average pay salary isn't much different in California. The places you're interested in living are expensive places that would require at least a job that pays 15 dollars an hour. Most apartments cost $1,200 a month. I live in Orange County and find it difficult living on my own in a one-bedroom at 14 dollars an hour.\n\nUnless you're learning a skill while you're saving up you probably shouldn't put too much weigh into the idea of relocating to some of the most expensive places in California.

If you feel that this apartment building is discriminating, contact local fair housing agency. Also, I'm not entirely certain if the administrative fee is legal. I would check with fair housing. They are usually very knowledgeable about the law.

I have got a lot of friends that went/are still in school at UCLA for undergrad and grad school and they spend at least $20k for living expenses each.  I helped couple of them look for apts and move in, and the lowest for a studio apt is about $800-$850, I mean this place was small, one bedroom apartment is about $1100 or so.  Short commuting distance would mean about $100 off of the mention cost, but dont expect too much within a 10 minute drive during peak traffic hours, the place is right between Beverly Hills and Santa Monica, so you are pretty squeezed in by cost.  If you do decide to get a place and decide to get a car make sure you have parking provided for you by the hospital and at your apartment, or you are looking at couple hundred dollars for parking at work and about $75-100 for a parking spot in Westwood.  \n\n$20k a year is a bare minimum because you got rent, power, water, food. And its rather a high cost of living at that location.

Well this might rank up as one of your lowest.  Though it counts because we do live here, we will be moving soon so I bet we will pay more soon enough.\n\nWe live in Maine, the rent for a 2- bedroom one bathroom apartment here is $445/ month.

Check on rental rates for similar properties in your area and use those to help you determine what is a reasonable rate to charge.  Usually the deposit is paid when the lease is signed and in my experience it is a full month's rent (in addition to the first month's rental payment), although I suppose you could charge whatever you wanted for it.
