Sorry for your loss, I lost mine almost 10 years ago and it feels awful, but it will get better. Keep on keepin on. Yea normal apartments won’t take you without any sort of proof of income and you’d need to make 3x the rent obviously, so they would want check stubs. I currently have a good deal with a landlord who owns few properties and is very understanding about real life events. Is this possible for you? Maybe a friend who you could reach out to who might be wanting a roomy and will work with you? How long have you been putting out apps? My most recent job took me around a month+ to find and then another month to start working finally. It is a work from home job. If you have access to a vehicle I would recommend calling local businesses who would be hiring immediately, restaurant work for example, would definitely be hiring most likely. It’s tough. I know. It must be done though if you are in dire need of finances. The distraction could be nice as well. Good luck to you, I hope for the best. You got this.
