Does an apartment manager have to know about your paypal account if your rent is based on income?

ok so im 18 and my moms apartment is based on how much income(subsidized), and so on my birthday my family gave me a lot of money, like $500.
And my mom said i cant put it in the bank and i have to keep it as cash, because if it goes in my bank account then the apartment manager will think it’s “income” or something when it’s just birthday money and then the apartment’s rent will go up..

I have a paypal account(which is linked to my bank account), but I was wondering if I transfer my money directly through MoneyPak(prepaid card for PayPal) will I have to show the manager my paypal account as well as my bank account, or does PayPal not count?

Im wanting to use my birthday money online and i have a paypal account(which is linked to my bank account), but I was wondering if I transfer my money directly through MoneyPak(prepaid card for PayPal) will I have to show the manager my paypal account as well as my bank account, or does PayPal not count? i think if i use MoneyPak its not going through the bank account but im not sure

im not getting any answers from previous questions and im really confused so pls help
well the thing is they look at all your money on your bank statement, and count it as an “income” if it’s a certain amount, regardless if it was gift money or whatever.

then they act like they’re all “Suspicious” of you just because you now have more money in your bank.

How do low-income apartments determine eligibility?

Do apartment rentals with income restrictions determine your eligibility based on last year’s tax return, last month’s pay stubs, phone fact checking at your work, D. all of the above?

We’re not trying to cheat the income restrictions anywhere! It’s just that one (out of three) of us is about to get a much better job. Ze can’t realistically afford to pay more than zir 1/3 of the rent, and us other 2 are still broke. We might still qualify for the restrictions even with her new salary, but she hasn’t received an exact salary proposal yet.

I’ll also be getting a new job while we still live there. How do they deal with financial changes for residents,if at all? Only when a lease is up for renewal?
Very useful answers so far. Just to clarify, these are not “sliding scale” apartments, but rather apartments that set upper limits on residents’ annual income to qualify.

Where can I find a cheap apartment in St. Louis?

I need a cheap apartment quickly (City is OK). I have a cat, too. Are there any subsidized/income based apartments within an hour radius of STL that have a quick (or no) waiting list? Or a cheap place to rent from that is ok with bad credit??
