Ask HN: Bootstrapped and trying to rent and apartment

I was wondering what many people in bootstrapped startups do when asked for paystubs while looking for renting an apartment in Silicon Valley (Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Palo Alto).<p>I was recently denied from renting an apartment because I didn't have paystubs for the last two months. I am working on my own bootstrapped startup. I quit my high paying job last summer to pursue this venture. I have excellent credit.<p>Has anyone had this issue? If you have, what did you do about it? What's the best way to convince a landlord that you're a good for it?
