"I do not want to imply it's because you no longer "work" for a living, because I am sure many of you still do. However, I think it may be a good idea to reconsider some of your statements and positions, because it really does read like you are from another planet."

It seems that you're under the mistaken impression that being a landlord isn't hard work. Obviously, you have no idea what being a landlord entails. So actually, this reads like YOU are from another planet.

No, no. I, am a full time, stay-at-home mom. I know all about working hard/hard work and not doing a 9-5. I, also know, that I no longer "work" for a living. I no longer "work" outside of my home to pay the bills, keep the lights on, and keep a roof over my head, as I once did. You are taking my statement out of context. If you do not understand the difference between the two, than I can't help you.

Like I said, you obviously have no idea what being a landlord entails.

What would you propose? by CCRider (CA) on March 25, 2015 @22:25	[ Reply ]

I'm curious. If you were a landlord and were screening tenants, would you not require a credit check? SS#'s are required in order to do that. How would you, personally, handle an applicant who would not give you one? Based on their fear of having their identity stolen?

And to respectfully add to CC's question, suppose the applicant was asking to rent your well-maintained single family home (as in J (FL)'s situation, which we have been talking about in this thread), worth $150,000 to $200,000, or possibly more?
