< class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;">It's often the case that obtaining a car on finance will have your bank or other financial lender asking you some interesting questions to determine whether you qualify for a loan. A question that sometimes surprises potential car owners is whether they've lived at a particular residence for two years or more. Although where a person lives might not have anything to do with what they drive, the length of time spent in a particular residence can often offer a lender an idea of the stability of your financial situation. This information can be particularly helpful by demonstrating on time rental payments for several years of residence.
