You should prthe following, no credit score or tax returns needed:- Employment verification letter- Two recent pay stubs that verify the salary claims in the EV letter- Two most recent bank statements that show a reasonable amount of cash- Photo ID in the form of a passport or visaGenerally, the above should be plenty, but it does depend on the landlord.The landlord will likely have you fill out a W8 form, as well - common with foreign renters.You may also be able to use a corporate guarantor service like Insurent. Not all landlords accept them, due to certain constraints or preferences, but worth checking.Some landlords will accept a full year's payment up-front, however, this can only be done in free market buildings (rent stabilized buildings have some rules against this). Even in free market buildings, it's up to the landlord whether or not to accept full payment, additional security, or some form of back rent up-front.When emailing brokers / leasing offices, make sure to inquire about their international leasing policies, so you don't risk wasting any time on buildings that have strict or unreasonable policies.Good luck and welcome to New York!
