Rent a house with no income?

There are plenty of places to rent in Sacto for first and last month's rent and security. You must have an income to rent anything unless you can prove you have another source of steady income or you can pay 6 months rent in advance. You should find a furnished room or extended stay hotel until you get a job.

Rent a motel for now. Then you must have a monthly income of 3 times the

amount of the monthly rent payment. You must show 2 weeks of pay stubs

to prove it. There will be a credit and a background check done as well.

This is what all landlords require.

You will just have to rent a cheap hotel room, hostel or a room in a private house, until you get yourself a job and an income so you can pass the income requirements to rent a place to live

The landlord needs to make sure that his rent will be covered. Maybe you could offer him 3 months of rent up front and hopefully you have stellar credit and some good job prospecvts. Most people plan ahead and give themselves time with a short term rental, like extended stay hotels, etc.

There are places that will rent for cash up front. Try local motels that rent by the week or month. There is that national chain...can't think of the name...put they have nice little places with kitchenettes and a pool. That would tide you over.

How do you expect to pay rent without income? No sane landlord will rent to you.

That's normal. No job = no income = no rental. Without a job a landlord has no assurance that you will have the money to pay rent.

and you may never get your certification so without a bonafide job you likely will not find anything to rent, other than the motels that are designed for extended living

Good career move on your part... Yes you can go to a motel/hotel and look if they have weekly rates.

a written offer of employment is the usual minimum to qualify for a lease. you should be job-hunting right now, not apt-hunting.
