Documentation Required with Application

I'm thinking about what all I'd like to see come in with a rental app.  Here's what I've got:

- Copy of SS card and 1 alt. gov't issued ID (Driver's, passport, etc)

- 4 weeks of paystubs, or most recent benefit letter showing $ of benefits

- 4 weeks of bank statements for checking account

- Last year's tax return

Am I asking too much from them?  If so, what should I remove from the list that I don't need?

(Definitely will do a credit report and criminal/eviction check)

I think the tax return is stretching a bit. The others sound reasonable, but you may get some push back on the bank statements.

I will look at the full credit file since I have had some good tenants with bad scores, but it was from old medical debt and everything else was good.
