Best online rental application service that shows social

[Mike M.]

Hey guys. Trying to move away from my hard copy forms, issue I’m having is a lot of the tenant screening websites don’t provide the landlord the full social security number. Most redact the social, and for me this isn’t enough in the event I need to seek a judgement. 

So what websites can I use or ideas do you have for an online rental application that provides me with a copy of their ID and social. 

Thank you!

I use apartments.com and zillow.com for screening and I have a separate form that the tenants sign that asks for their SSN as part of the application process.

The biggest reason to get their SSN is that if you have to evict and get a judgement for unpaid rent you can garnish their tax refunds.
