To rent an apartment, they want:
  • Last four consecutive pay stubs
  • Last two federal tax returns
  • Last two W-2 forms
  • Last two months of checking account bank statements
  • Most recent savings acct statement
  • Letter from your employer stating salary
  • Current landlord reference letter

Are these people insane? Or is it just me that this seems like a lot?

The management company is Halcyon Management...anyone ever deal with them?
Wow, I never had any of those requirements. It sounds like the management company and/or the building owner may have been burned by deadbeats who lied. That's just a guess. The only way to see if this is the norm is to find out what similar real estate management companies require. I just googled them and I can't even find their own website with listings of apartments and the like.
