Renting help

[littlelilyx]

So my ex is moving out and we're having to switch over the contract to my name as a result. We had it in his name as he has a vanilla job so it was just less ball ache. My friend who's just got a new full time job is moving in so I assumed it would be easy enough to switch the names over. However the landlord came over to discuss everything and he asked what I did, I said newly self employed(just left my side job) he kept prying though and so I ended up making up some Bullshit about working in art and design (what I used to do so not too much of a lie)

But yeah I don't really know what to do, if I get a guarantor and just pay a couple of months rent in advance do you'll think that'll be alright? How are other cam girls handling this situation?
