    5 years of pay stubs, certification to be able to rent an apartment in the state of New York, annual FBI background check, a clean history showing no travel outside of the United States in the last 10 years, no DUI, certification that you have never owned a television, license to not own a pet, 7 years of tax returns. United States birth certificate not in a red state…

    It can be pretty difficult to rent an apartment in New York these days. Not to mention all the fees for above can add up to tens of thousands of dollars per year!

      no travel outside of the United States in the last 10 years

      Excuse me? This seems completely out of line, of course people want to travel outside the US, and I guess I’d never ever qualify… I somehow find this hard to believe.
