I'm moving to NYC to start a graduate program in the fall

Like a year ago I was pulled over for a license plate thing at like 1am. Cop thought I was drunk, I wasn't (blew a 0.000%), but I peed in the cup and had weed in my system. Eventually the DUI got dismissed and I got convicted of a disorderly conduct (misdemeanor)

I didn't even think of it because there was no background check for school, but I guess the credit check for the rental showed the arrest and whatnot and they asked me to explain it. I explained it in brief email, not too much detail, etc.

Basically, is this just a formality to make sure I'm not a violent criminal or a drug DEALER? I'm like 95% done with the application, I make 40x rent, my credit is above what they asked for, and all that. I know it's a subjective call for the landlord I guess, but I wonder if anyone here has experience w/ something like this.

No, but again, I'm not a nigger

oh word

You make 40x the rent? They'd have to be the most retarded agent in the world to refuse you, sure you don't mean 4x the rent?

No. To rent you (or your parents or someone) needed to make 40x your share of one month's rent (multi person lease).

My share is like less than $1,000 a month and I will make at least $40,000 in the coming year.

Like I said, 95% of the rental application is done. This just came up on the credit check, which I assume is the last step.

And that's kind of what I was thinking. I am very stably employed, so it seems dumb to deny someone for a lease like a week before the move in date when they clearly have the money (and it's not even student loans). But you never know.

Oh right, the metric we use where I live for financing is 3x the rent, except unitless instead of "40x one month per year". So you make about 3.3x your rent, just enough

You should be unlikely to be refused anyway, marijuana misdemeanour tenant vs potentially losing 1 or more weeks of rent is a pretty easy decision. Agents/landlords fucking hate missing a week they don't have to

Good shit, thanks for the reassurance. I've been nervous because the email came at the end of the workday on Friday so I probably won't hear back until at least tomorrow.

Let your prospective housemates know if they don't already, you might want to keep half an eye on the market just in case. Keep looking at places this weekend if you aren't too busy.
