What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York
I'm searching for an apartment in the Bronx, NY.
Are brokers and leasing offices allowed by law to require running one's credit to simply view an apartment? I understand the reason for this request; however, having to have one's credit searched every time a person wants to just view an apartment IS detrimental to ones overall credit.
ALSO-
Once applying for an apartment, is it LEGAL for the broker or leasing agent to request one's personal bank statements. Again, I understand why this is done; however, my question on both maters is: IS IT LEGAL?
Best,
