I'm renting a house now, and applying to rent a different house. On the application it's asking for bank name and account numbers. Why? All my other applications in the past (TAA) don't ask for it. The landlord is renting the house personally and not through a real estate co. I don't feel comfortable giveing her my acct number. what should I do?

It's part of the credit screening process. The landlord is entitled to verify your credit, and to verify that you are who you say you are. Verifying the existance of a bank account, and that you haven't kited an excessive number of checks, is reasonable and prudent.
As a landlord, I would be highly suspicious of someone who didn't have a bank account or refused to reveal the details of their bank account. As such, I'd probably reject their application.

The my roof my policies project is a few thing i've got self belief in. inspite of the undeniable fact that, those policies could be amended whilst the guy starts to pay "lease".

I disagree with it, yet possibly there's a case someplace. inspite of the undeniable fact that, taking funds out of your account as punishment is insane and out of bounds. it is going to no longer be happening. genuinely, they are exercising administration over you this type. they opt to tug all the strings. it fairly is now problematic nor appropriate. regrettably, i will basically believe you. i don't be attentive to a thank you to advise you aside from the take a seat them down and consult with them suggestion. sounds like they are entrenched nevertheless. possibly you may set up a timetable. If after some volume of time you have proved your self to them then the call comes off the account. Plus, how are you able to discover ways to be an grownup in the event that they gained't permit you.

I have lived in many appartments and rented many houses and have never had that asked of me.
Never give out such sensitive information. I think being asked for that is uncalled for.
All you should need to confirm if you are a good renter is referances from previous renters or even from your job history.
I'd let this one go if you are being asked that and are really expected to give out that kind of information.

I wwouldn't give my bank account number out to anybody, considering that they'll also have your signature on the application there could be a chance of identity theft.

It is simply for verification purposes! And do to the Patriot Act! They are required to get that information. To make sure you are not a terrorist! They might use it to verify your name!

probably to confirm your income, would check with the housing authority to see if legitamate or if the housing has done anything on the iffy side. hope this helps :)
