<p>I’m a landlord. Whenever a tenant pays me in cash or via money order, I write them a receipt. That’s their only proof of payment. You should be asking for a receipt every time you pay rent with a money order. What would you do if the landlord claimed you didn’t pay him or that he never received the rent?</p>

<p>I agree with post 34. IF you were trying to establish residency, you would have been doing EVERYTHING possible to have your name on everything possible to show evidence that CA was indeed YOUR domicile. You didn’t do this. The state requires that you establish a domicile with the intent if staying there permanently. Playing at will does not demonstrate this. It is a month by month arrangement. You could have moved at any time. That doesn’t show evidence of permanent domicile with the intent to stay.</p>
<p>The UC Residence Policy is different from FAFSA policy. The UC Residence Policy is the only one that has a clause regarding financial independence. IF I HAD KNOWN THAT UC RESIDENCE POLICY WOULD HAVE A THING SUCH AS A FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE (which I never really thought of because I THOUGHT ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS STAY HERE FOR YEARS), I would’ve signed the lease from the very first place. </p>
<p>We understand why you are upset, but it really is up to the student to become informed on state residency policies by going to the source at the university or online. Asking what documentation is required would be of primary importance. The UC residency policy has been on the website for years. See pages 13 onward- </p>
