Hello, our family is moving from a leased apartment next month (10/2018). We have lived and leased at this address for over 30 years. We received a request in the mail today to fill out and return a W-9 form (Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification). The cover letter says providing this info is mandatory by law. Is this in fact the law? Is this a typical request upon vacating an apartment?
Context: we've never been late or missed a single rent payment in all of the time spent leasing the apt. The apartment has been kept in good condition. A concern is that the management company will find something wrong and attempt to charge us for it. Is this a valid concern? Thank you.
