Employment must be current and verifiable for a minimum of 1 year. Other verifiable income may be submitted equaling 2.5 times monthly rent which has been consistently sustained for more than one 1 year. Verifiable income includes, as confirmed by the employer, or other satisfactory documentation as required.
