    Unless you're listed as an "adult performer" on your taxes... you don't have to tell them any more than that you're self-employed and here is your tax return from last year and/or regular deposits to your bank proving your income.

    who says you have to tell them you do a webcam, webcam invovles marketing, sales, customer service, and admin work.

    you have to be able to prove your income which can be done with paystubs, from the checks you receive, your bank statements, or you can get a template from microsoft website for tracking your time and pay and put into an excel spreadsheet and copy and paste the website logo to make it into a letter head or use the ADP logo

    ADP is a huge company in north america for payroll.

    Webcam model is not a protected class under the discrimination laws so yes they can deny housing to you.

    Even if something IS protected... they can still deny you if they can come up with any sort of reason they can give to reject you where are you aren't protected by law. ...Just ask the man who rents out the house across the street from me.

    A Landlord can turn you down because he doesnt like the colour of your hair. Its completely up to them as its their house and they basically dont need any reason to say no. But majority are nice and aslong as you can provide the things they ask then they are generally happy. You should get house no problem.

    They wouldnt be turning you down because you show boobs. They may turn you down because they do not understand it (which is normal) and people turn their backs on things they dont understand, no need to call them names, just think as if you were in their shoes


    Easy option is to bend the truth about your work.

    I agree with PrincessJenny completely. Not having pay stubs or tax returns makes renting hard. I just moved myself and ONLY looked at private rentals. Do you really want a landlord like that anyway?

    Look into renting something a little cheaper/not as nice. As your standards drop the landlords standards will most likely drop, too. If this makes sense.

    The hardest thing that I had renting private in New Jersey was that I would find a nice place and the landlord only wanted to rent from someone on section 8! I guess it all comes down to security. If my boyfriend didn't look like a yuppy white boy I am sure that I wouldn't have gotten the house that I got.

    Check out Craigslist and good luck!

    Yes they can! First and foremost it comes down to ZONING LAWS! In most cases and states, doing webcam shows from areas zoned as residential is illegal. If you have a biz license to be a webmaster, marketer, etc....but are actually doing webcam shows it is also a crime! Showing boobies can be done legitimately, if you rent a studio in a building zoned for adult businesses. It is not the apartment or peoples problem, it is ours. I would not want porn performers living and working next to me if i had a family...would you? It is nobodies business what is done behind closed doors, but you are opening doors into your life on the internet and doing business, and that is when it becomes a problem!

    Second, most apartment communities will not even allow home based businesses, wether adult or non adult.

    I do the above and bend the truth. Do not tell anyone you want to rent from you are a pornographer, it is not about people not understanding, it is about the laws.

    ^^ I WOULD DEFINATELY FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE LAWS IN YOUR COMMUNITY GF. As an adult performer you should know the laws and consequences, instead of calling out and placing the blame on others, you should do all you can to protect yourself and your business!

    cyberstripper, I think you are skewing this way too far.

    There is a difference between a girl doing webcam from her bedroom, and someone running a full business operation with employees, payroll and inventory out of their home. YOU CAN'T SETUP A STARBUCKS OUT OF YOUR APARTMENT.

    You are essentially saying that every person that sells their grandmas crap on ebay, writers, or people who do telemarketing/customer service from their home (ALL WORK AT HOME MOMS), are breaking the law. Which is just not true.

    Not gonna touch the statement about not wanting to live next to us, but its sad you'd think this way!

    Default Re: Can someone turn down a adult performer for housing.

    i just recently got a place when i only was there to check it out. very happy because they gave me a month free (one of those specials that go on with apts) i was really expecting them to deny but i told them i was an online model (didn't elaborate). i showed them my bank deposits plus i have good credit - i was surprised about that one. it's in a working class area, not ghetto but not fancy. i feel safe though. i had older women do the leasing stuff and i was surprised they didn't give me a look. i think it may depend on the area you decide to stay just as strippername said and also who is doing the paperwork because people can still discriminate for their own personal reason.

    I specifically said that adult businesses is taking place in an area that is not zoned for adult business use is illegal, I was not referring to all home based business. It is very true that some rental apartments will not ALLOW home based businesses AT all, but I did not say that all home based businesses are ILLEGAL. I apologise if I was not specific enough. The laws vary from state to state, but I know if you run a (non adult) home based business you can be denied rentals from specific properties and landlords who will not rent from those who own non adult home based businesses.

    I believe the only state that it is legal to shoot porn from residential areas is california, specifically porn valley. I could be wrong, but I only have enough time in a day to keep up with my local community in Cali.

    My personal opinions are just that, opinions. I am a porn performer myself and I am not against it, but I am against people doing it illegally and in residential areas. People who own normal businesses often rent stores, studios, offices, etc. People in porn should do the same. If you cant afford to run a legal business with proper licensing and a proper "office" you should not be in business. I personally do all I can to protect myself and my community and keep my porn related activities restricted to areas in which they are legal and can be legitimized.

    You shouldnt feel sad for me. You should feel sad for all of the people who don't run legitimate porn businesses because they are only making it more difficult for the rest of us!

    Maybe we are still mis-understanding each other. Are you still saying webcaming out of your home is illegal or shooting full fledged porn movies with a hired crew is illegal??

    Solo webcaming out of your home is NOT illegal, starting a studio with 5 girls that come there to work for you IS.

    ^ I am not trying to argue, but this is merely an article of the authors opinions on non adult home based businesses. This is not the law. If anyone is concerned about zoning laws, the last thing you should rely on is articles online. Call your local business licensing office to find out the laws and to see if you can be licensed. Or contact an attourney.

    The above article has nothing to do with adult businesses, in which things drastically change!

    If anyone would really like to know, contact your local business licensing office. Tell them specifically what you are doing from home, that it is an adult based business, and ask if you can get a business license or legally do this type of business from home in a residential area. Then you can get the legal answers you are looking for provided by your local business licensing office. They will know the laws in and out regarding adult or non adult home based businesses!

    This is very true.
    I had an idiot roommate nearly get us kicked out of our apartments because he mentioned to the leasing office that he did phototrography out of the apartment sometimes.
    The complex did not allow ANY home based business AT ALL.
    What he was doing wasn't illegal... but it was still not allowed by the leasing office.

    I actually agree that people should comply with zoning laws, ect. Maybe this is weird... but I wouldn't be comfortable filing taxes, writing off at home expenses, ect as part of my job if I were living somewhere that I legally wasn't allowed to be doing the job.

    As far as not wanting to live next to porn performers, ect... to be fair, there are a lot of great girls who do webcam, stripping, porn, escorting and so on... but looking at the industry as a whole... it seems like the majority of these girls are honestly NOT the type of people you'd want to live next to.

    With this economy , the place i live at , working at mcdonlds isnt a opption. with a husband and a son, you think showing yourself is degrading , try cashing a 250 doller check =P im going to do some research on home based business , what to call myself , and check into the apartments i wish to rent and see if they allow home based businesses. I dont know why they wouldnt , there not really upscale. just kinda regular. I also have a couple contracts with some modeling places. Could i just claim myself as a freelance model with my bank records? or is this wrong because not all my money comes from this.

    What is the appeal of renting an apartment? You will probably have better luck looking into a private rental. Your husband doesn't do anything? Maybe your son can co-sign for you.

    Look at the subleasing section. Don't be so picky. You are living in a hotel, right? Move somewhere cheaper, but not scary. File your taxes in April and find a nicer place. Stop buying shit. Put your husbands paycheck into savings and don't spend it after you furnish your new place. The best thing about cheaper/shithole apartments is that a lot of them rent month to month.

    Your son is one. Being somewhere not as nice won't affect him. You aren't worrying about school zones right now. Just take care of him and love him. That is all he needs.

    I know what you mean. I tried to buy a car a few months ago and kept getting denied. Not because of my credit. It was because of my job. They said I was a risk. I even went to the car lot that gives people on welfare and section 8 cars. They wouldn't give me one. They said I was too good there. WTF?!
