Depends on the landlord and how hard up they are to rent to someone. I personally wouldn't accept just a job offer letter.Mention your name, the type of job you do, and why you're interested in the apartment. I submitted an application for an apartment complex and it's been ages since I've lived in an apartment. You need a letter of employment to get an apartment so that you can prove to the landlord that you are employed. Need help drafting a job offer letter? The offer letter should include information about how you will be paid. A new hire letter is evidence that you have an income moving forward, which is when you will be living in the landlord's property. Apply to Maintenance Technician, Apartment Manager, Leasing Agent and more! Income from employment must be local to the area of the home or applicants must provide proof of remote employment, or new local job offer.
