Step 1: File articles of incorporation for an LLC. Step 2: Open bank account for your new business. Step 3: Write checks to yourself from said business. Step 4: Tell future landlord that you're "self employed." Step 5: File dissolution of LLC -or- make sure to pay any annual franchise taxes, depending on your state, if you decide to keep it active.

I'm all in to say that the situation to get an appartement is out of control but isn't that fraud / counterfeit?
It depends, in Spain there's a thing called Seguro de Alquiler, (Rental insurance? Not sure the specific name of this service in the US). If the landlord offers a place for rent and has a rental insurance involved, giving them false documents could get you in trouble because of contracts and stuff. But, if the rental is done through a Real State Agency and the realtor (or directly through the lanlord) just asked for it to see but no mention of it in the contract then I think you could get away with it
I think rent prices are out of control but it seems reasonable for a landlord to verify that you can afford the rent.

i assume she also had to photoshop her w2, which is required to provide. forging government docs can't be good... as is getting blacklisted from renting apartments. i am curious about how below she is from meeting the requirements (you need to make 40x the rent).
You might not be prepared to take the risk, she was, and it worked. Whining about people not following the system in a rigged system is absurd.

You can use the same trick in job applications.
If they didn't check themselves, they didn't really care in the first place.

I'm guessing her rent is double my mortgage, if not higher.
Rent often is. But since renting doesn't build credit, lots of us can't "afford" a house even though we'd actually be saving money paying a mortgage instead of rent.

I work in property management and see fake pay stubs/ fake bank statements 4 or 5 times a week. You might be surprised how easy they are to spot.
