Ask HN: Apartment in SF w/o a Job

My cofounder and I (YC W11 rejects) are moving to San Francisco in January to work full time on our start-up. We're leaving our jobs with enough savings to reasonably get by for a year.

Does anyone hav advice regarding finding an apartment without an income? Will having enough cash reserves to pay for 6 months up front be enough? Or will we have to find a guarantor? Or ... would it make sense to show our most recent pay stubs implying that we still have jobs, comfortable in the knowledge that we can afford to pay anyway?

I'm assuming this must be a pretty common situation in silicon valley, so there are probably precedents set...
