Your not going to find hardly anywhere that has a month to month agreement. The best you can hope for is a 6 month lease. And even then most places run a credit check on both applicants to ensure that they are not getting some deadbeat with bad credit.

Also almost all places require check stubs from the last 6 months of employment. General rule of thumb is you have to gross (before taxes) per month three times what your rent would be to qualify. So lets say your rent was $800 split two ways its $400 each, you would have to gross (before taxes) $1200 per month before you would qualify.

The renting market is getting a lot more strict due to the fact that people just move out in the middle of the night and stiff landlords on rent and such. You have to basically consider yourself applying for a loan when you rent/least a place to live. Because in the end if you flake out, then you still owe the remainder of the lease. If it goes unpaid, then leans and other legal acting can and will be taken.

So make sure you have your ducks in a row before going and looking at places because there is a lot more that goes into renting that people think. Unless you have a friend that owns the property and are renting under the table of course. Thats the best way to go if you can find it.
