I would not give it to them. I recently rented a house and put my bank account numbers on the lease and i just found out that my landlord knows someone at my bank and has been checking my account without my knowlede and permission. I wouldnt give him the information. If you do change banks right after.

Typically its a standard term of a rental or lease agreement that you make annually 2 or 3x as much as the total rent. Its your bank account, so if they call your bank, all the bank can tell them is what the balance is. They can't withdraw, hold, or move around funds. You shouldn't be concerned about that. Also, they can't question how you budget your money. The landlord will just want your rent each month... no matter where it comes from. If you're concerned about giving out personal finance information (and you should be, there ARE a lot of shady landlords and property managers out there), just give them a copy of a recent w-2 to prove to them how much money you're capable of making, to qualify you for the property.

Yes, they can.. Doesn't mean you have to provide.
I ask for a credit application as essentially a rental agreement is a LINE of credit.
If a prospective renter cannot provide information as to credit worthiness I can deny the rental application.

They can ask, but i wouldn't give the information unless you plan on having the rent come straight out of your account. I'd much rather write a check though.

In my experience, I have never been asked for bank/saving account numbers.
Look for another place to rent.

Yes, it is customary. The landlord will need your social security number to run a credit check, too.

The landlord can ask but you do not have to give them to him.

Yes they can. They don't usually do anything with it. They at least know that you have accts which means, for the most part, that you can pay your rent.
