u/overcured

Hi!

I'm currently looking to rent with my partner. I am a nurse that is currently in between jobs in the interviewing process. I have substantial paystubs along with 2024 and 2025 T4s. My partner has recently gotten a new job 3 weeks ago. We are looking to rent around $1600-$2200 in Durham Region (Ajax, Pickering, Whitby, Oshawa; will go a bit further if needed)

Would we be accepted if we were to submit the following:

• From myself: Previous T4s, paystubs for past 2 years, offer letter from new job, employment letter with pay expectations, professional employment references
• From partner: Previous T4s, paystubs for past 1 year, employment letter from current employer, pay stubs from last 3 weeks, professional employment references.

Neither of us have substantial savings. Would a landlord be flexible if we were able to prove that we could maintain our rent despite just starting new jobs?

Would it be possible to rent in this situation?

Please, please help! Thanks :)
