Re: How Do I Rent Apartment During Marital Separation? - Landlord Forum thread 332637

Re: How Do I Rent Apartment During Marital Separation? by CCRider (CA) on March 26, 2015 @00:01

                              
I have a friend on a waiting list for low-income 55+ in Santa Clara, CA, and I know she has an IRA with $50,000 in it. Not all places require that you don't have assets, just that you are low income.

Most of CA is actually rural. CA is a huge state with many affordable areas. I love the north coast, for instance, which is where I live. Check out the Humboldt Craigslist. You can find studios in Eureka, for instance for around $500/month.

Just get on Craigslist and put in your max rent and see what pops up. Then try another Craigslist and do the same thing. This is what I did.

Anyway, good luck to you.

Oh, and those ads aren't legal by CCRider (CA) on March 26, 2015 @00:04 [ Reply ]
No matter what their ads say, they have to take you regardless of your source of income - or rather, they can't deny you based on that. You could file a complaint with the Dept of Fair Employment and Housing.

    Wrong. You just get denied on something else. Source of income is protected. "They have to take you regardless of income." Hell no.

      Probably very true. It's a pick-your-battles thing. Aside from wasting time and $ trying to sue an LL for not renting, personally I would not want to rent from an LL who didn't want to rent to me. It would make for contentious interactions and an uncomfortable living situation.
