Typically a lifestyle has a fake sin tied to it. You have to be paying the bills with an identity of somekind. You might be able to argue with the gm that a low lifestyle or lower could be paid using certifieds every month. You could be leasing the space from the local gang and they don't care who you are as long as you pay. However you would still have problems with comm service, utilities etc... needing a name on the bill. Of course you could pirate those as well. However that brings other problems with it. I would say that a mid lifestyle or higher needs a fake sin attached to it. There is just too much exposure to the legit world to get around.
Now conversely, a fake sin does not need a lifestyle tied to it. My current character has one lifestyle and two fake sins. One sin is tied to the lifestyle but the other is used for more risky things. If it gets comprimised, I toss it and buy a new one. Nothing gets traced back to my lifestyle, so I don't lose that as well.
