Before landlord allows you in they ask for proof of income one way or another. And after you moved in it is quite hard to kick you out unless you misbehave. As for friends: if they asked about your income, you refused to answer and they still look it up - what kind of friends they are then? And btw the tax records show how much taxable income you had, not its source.

No landlord has asked me for proof of income. You think this peasants and lords system you talk about is mandatory ? I don't care about friends, people are a waste of time to interact with when they're all dumber than me.
