Grant’s direct answer

In Grant’s firsthand experience, the large majority of professionally managed apartment communities he encounters will accept a properly prepared signed employment offer letter for a recent graduate who has not yet received pay stubs. A strong letter should clearly show the employer, gross salary, employment start date, and company letterhead or equivalent formal documentation, with a recruiter or HR contact available for verification. The exact property policy still needs to be confirmed before applying. HomeBase treats offer-letter qualification as common, not guaranteed, and checks unusual situations individually.
