I agree.

thread starter said he turned in an application. one would assume the SSN is in there.

Any rental application I receive for a client requires them to sign a form allowing credit to be pulled by anyone above the age of 18.

I think the credit check is normal practice -- it's part of the standard rental application.

Landlords will want to see some proof of assets. You might be able to save some $$$ if you pre-pay six months' or the whole years' worth of rent into escrow -- I know one of my old bosses would offer that deal to potential renters.

As for the paint, this may be a battle you can win, but at what price?
