Rental Application - w-2 tax forms
I have been thinking about add a line on my rental application which would require a w-2 for the last two years from all applicants. My hope is that this will make screening a tenant's income/ job history easier and more accurate and it will help deter those who would try to lie about it and maybe put down a friend as there "boss". I already check facebook/ linkedin etc. to try to stop that, but does anyone have experience with requiring a w-2? Did it work, did it not work? Is there specific wording I should use?
