Why remote worker renting is different
The obstacles remote workers face
Landlords want local employer proof
Most landlords want an offer letter or employer phone number in the same city. Settl bypasses this entirely. Your bank deposits prove income regardless of where your employer is based.
Moving to a new city without local references
References from out-of-state landlords are often ignored. Your Settl Verified Passport is verifiable online. Your new landlord doesn't need to call anyone.
Variable income or contractor pay
Remote workers often earn via multiple clients or quarterly bonuses. Settl averages 12 months of deposits to give landlords an accurate income picture, not a single-month snapshot.
Renting remotely before you arrive
Can't visit in person? Settl gives landlords full verification online. So they can approve you before your moving truck arrives.

Common questions
I work remotely for a company in another state. Will landlords accept that?
Yes. Settl verifies income directly from your bank, not from your employer. The landlord sees 12 months of verified deposits. Your employer's location is irrelevant.
My income comes from multiple clients. How does Settl handle that?
Settl aggregates all deposits into your bank account over 12 months. Whether you have one employer or ten clients, your total verified monthly income is what landlords see.
Can I apply for an apartment remotely without visiting first?
Yes. Share your Settl code before a showing. Landlords can fully verify your income and identity online and approve you before you arrive.
I get paid quarterly or by project. Will my income look inconsistent?
Settl presents a 12-month average, which smooths out project-based or quarterly payments. A single low-income month won't hurt your verified income figure.
Do I need to show my employer's contact information?
No. Settl doesn't contact your employer. Income is verified from bank deposits only.
