How does the apartment application work? Does my employer have to fill it out?

lusciousm82: How does the apartment application work? Does my employer have to fill it out?
I’m thinking about getting an apartment and they showed me the apartment, etc, etc. They gave me an application. So, I took a look at it, and it said my employer has to fill out-my work info, etc. And how my residential has to fill out info about where I currently live. Well, I live at home, so I don’t rent. Do all apartment offices require that an employer have to fill out info?

Of course not. That is wrong. You should fill that out. As an employer, I would not fill out an employee’s rental application. That is not my job.

I’ve filled out lots of apartment rental apps and never had one where an employer had to fill out a certain part.

That is very strange. I have never seen a rental application requiring that the applicant have their boss fill out the employment information, or even one’s current landlord (if applicable) fill out the residential. From what I know (I’ve lived in rented apartments and houses my entire life), the most apartment managers/landlords usually do to confirm information is call you employer and your current landlord to confirm information and to possible ask about certain things like how well you kept up the residence, if you payed rent on time, if there were any issues with other residents and so forth. What they would probably ask your boss would be if you’re really making how much you put as your monthly income.
