Tenant social security number.

[Niki C.]

Will you make a copy of tenant social security card when they move in? Because i've heard that you need ssn of the tenant at court for eviction. I make copy of tenants ID but never asked for ssn because they applied through Cozy and filled out all of that to get pulled the credit report and background checks. 

Thanks.

I always took the number and would warn them that any uncollected money for damages or past due rent would be reported to the IRS as "forgiven debt". I'd point out that I wouldn't take the time or trouble to get a WORTHLESS judgement against them. I'd just report the forgiven debt to the IRS, because unlike me the never sleep and they never forget. I always collected all my money from anyone who received that speech.
