What is the name of your state? NY
I am the landlord of a private 2 family home on Long Island. Yesterday, while showing the apartment, one potential renter...who seemed very interested, asked me for a current copy of my credit report along with my bank info and current employee pay stubs. It struck me a very funny and I giggled as I politely showed her to the door. She did state that her last landlord lost his house in a foreclosure...and she wanted to protect herself. I told her I owned the house...no mortgage...and this could be verified by any public property search. Any thoughts? Is this something that has become common with all the foreclosures going on?
