Can I be denied an apartment because I cannot get certain paperwork from my employer?
I am in the screening process of renting an apartment, and am currently employed at job. I am transferring to a new location with the same company but have no paperwork to prove it (my company does not work that way). However, my last day at my current location overlaps my move-in date. Do I legally have to show documentation if this is the case? I filled out the employment verification paperwork the apartment gave me. All it asked for was proof of my current employment and the past 2 years of income, which was met. Can the apartment deny me for not giving them paperwork from my future store?

And the new apartment is in a new location, correct? Who is running the store? Is it you? Can your employer just give you a letter that you are being transferred or your present mananger such a thing? If employment is verified I do not see how that can be the basis for rejection but I would try and solve the "problem" before it actually arises. Good luck.
