Unfortunately, landlords are allowed to refuse to rent to somone who does not have a job and therefore does not have any visible way of paying rent. The ways to get around this usually are:1) Offer to prepay several (i.e. 3- 6) months of rent (assuming you have the money to do this): having received rent in advance will protect the landlord against the risk of renting to someone withou a job, then having them fail to pay rent.2) Get a co-signor who has a job; having someone with a job on the lease who essentially guarantees paymnent reduces the risk to the landlord.3) Get roommates with jobs to rent with you.
