I'm filling out an application for a studio apartment. Is it standard to need to give your social security number, checking account number, and balance? I'm feeling really concerned.

>> No.821091

nope, ssn sure, but they dont need to know your checking account number and balance

in fact its not even guaranteed someone has those at all

apartments I have been at ask for ssn and a paycheck stub, unless it was a student apartment in which case they assume you are making no money so they dont even ask

I've never heard of that. Generally they will ask for a pay stub and SSN. They might run a credit check on you, but I doubt it since those cost money.

I'll see if I can leave it off the app. It seems super sketchy.

>> No.821108

Ask why they need it & your bank can probably give you something saying your accounts are in good standing / not delinquent, etc.

Good idea.

On a similar note, anyone have advice for finding a property? My job starts in 10 days and I need to find a place to live before then. I can't stay where I am much longer.

>>821125
keep looking and crash at hotels and couches until you find something

I guess I'll have to. :\

I recommend padmapper to the guy looking for a place. Pulls off Craigslist and other apartment sites, gives you low rates.

>>821137
I'll check it out.

What happens if I sign for a 12 month lease and get another job elsewhere? Do I need to find someone to buy the lease from me?

>> No.821170

Well there were only two listings on Padmapper in the area I wanted at the budget I wanted.

HotPads is having more success. Of course, we'll see who comes in first.

Guess I'll spend this weekend packing, since I can't go look at places.
