    You living paycheck to paycheck doesn’t affect your landlord unless you miss a payment. And in those instances landlords don’t have any kind of human empathy for the situation their tenant is in.

      It does affect your landlord. Lower income means higher risk of non-payment.

      That’s why some places require credit checks. The ideal tenant is rich and willing to pay whatever.
