You’re technically not supposed to swim outside of the beach but I do it sometimes in the summer after work, in the opposite end of the pond. Only once did a teenage park ranger row by and nicely tell me that swimming wasn’t permitted outside of the beach area (my friend had a sparkly inner tube so I imagine that made us more visible from afar) so we got out and that was that.

So basically, no it’s not allowed but if you’re discreet about it you should be fine.

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.

All “income based rent” in RI is subsidized by HUD. There are very specific rules about how you are allowed select tenants and you are allowed to deny by credit score (it’s dumb… I’m aware…) however the rent would not be “based” on your credit score as those do not show what you can pay, but that you DO pay your bills.

Just wanted to add that this place was very nice and tried to accommodate my financial situation, but they were constantly busy and would not call me back and schedule me in. We'd play phone tag and weeks could go by. My cat was a patient for 6-8 months.

I have mixed feelings because I liked their vet, Dr. Elias, but they really, really, really dropped the ball with me and did not seem to take my sick cat seriously enough. My cat passed this summer, at an emergency clinic, in the middle of the night, from hemorrhaging. It was incredibly traumatizing for me. I called Cranston to let them know and didn't even hear a peep back. Got a measly stock sympathy card in the mail. Would have been nice to have received a call from a human just to check in.

If I ever adopt again, I will not be going back.
