NEW YORK CITY RENTAL INCOME REQUIREMENT
Owners require that prospective tenants earn anywhere from 42 to 52 times the monthly rent. Combine income spouses acceptable.

            for example:

If for any reason, you cannot meet income, employment, or credit requirements, you may have a guarantor sign your lease with you, and that individual will be responsible for all aspects of the lease if you default. A guarantor will have to have an annual income requirement of at least 80X the monthly rent, and reside in the USA. Some landlords may require 100X the monthly rent and/or residency or business in New York, New Jersey or Connecticut.

A guarantor could be your father, relative or friend.
