Most will use income for good reason. You can often have a conversation about it (ie show you’ve sustained that rent amount previously) or co-sign it if you need to. It’s not ALWAYS a required defined %, but they like to at least see there is an income. My friend has a couple places they manage in DC and they require it just to weed out riff raff.

If there’s multiple applicants, that won’t work. And I’d do the same if I was renting out a unit.

It's all understandable, but I guess I'm just trying to figure out if it's possible to move to another city and get a decent place without proof of income (and get a job once I'm in the actual city).

Your best bet would probably be Airbnb. There’s plenty of them in PVD you could rent long term. Since you pay up front, they don’t care.
