What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Austin,Tx..I have been asked to provide my Social Security number on a Residential Lease Application. Common sense tells me to keep such a sensitive piece of information private. Am I being too overprotective regarding this matter? Thx in advance for your response. Sorry if I duped this inquiry, first time user, just living and learning in this type of forum.

**A: yes, but if you do not provide the info, they do not have to lease to you. I need the SS# of potential applicants to run credit reports when they apply to rent property from me.
