Do you typically need to bring a past landlord reference before being able to rent an apartment here?

Places often also accept a record of you paying rent on time every month for sixth months (I literally just printed the info out from my bank account)

Sorry think it was actually 12 months

In my experience, yes

It depends. Condos and coops will typically demand more references, esp if they’re luxury level (That doesn’t mean they’re thoroughly vetted). Independent landlords will vary a lot. I’d be ready to present 1-3 professional references and a ref from your current/most recent landlord depending on the kinds of places you’re looking at

Depends. Have had some that did and some that didn’t.

Do you need to provide a reference letter, or just contact info for past landlords?
