Approved Tenant requires Owner's SSN/Taxpayer ID for 'Reporting' purposes

[Account Closed]

does the approved tenant (for one of the 2 units in a legal duplex) have legal grounds to be demanding the owner's (landlord's) taxpayer id? 

tenant explanation is that intends to file a 1099 for each year she is owner's tenant to make sure rent paid is being reported as rental income and not 'written off' =D

Let her go and give her the money just to be rid of the headache. But she must go immediately to get any money, and I would call it good riddance.
