    I think rent prices are out of control but it seems reasonable for a landlord to verify that you can afford the rent.

      How do you reconcile those two points though? if rent prices are out of control why is it still reasonable for a landlord to verify affordability? to me it seems they’re contributing to the unaffordability (assuming) and then imposing that the tenant then meets this fabricated requirement.
