One way you might be able to get it, is to notify the tenant that you are updating emergency contact information on each tenant, and just put a space on the 'Contact Information Form' for the tenant to write the SS# along with the other information like; who to contact in case of emergency, next of kin, Drivers licenes number, vehicle tag number, etc.
This sometimes work and the tenant provides the info or just calls you about it. You can then request it then.

What's wrong with updating tenant contact infomation, every landlord should keep their files updated just in case an emergency arises.

Agreed. Anonymous above just objects to everything MrDan says, for some reason.

"I did not bother to get her SS# and of course regret it"
The mistake this landlord made was not gathering this information at application time in order to run the necessary credit and background checks.
"every landlord should keep their files updated just in case an emergency arises"
Agreed. However, an emergency contact/information sheet does not include a social security number, especially considering that under normal circumstances, the landlord already has the SS#.
While not incredibly private, you do not want to keep someone's social security number all over the place on different forms.
Every year when I see my doctor I get an information update form to fill out, there is always a box for social security number, and I always cross it out. There is no reason to have this information written down every year. It does not change.
