Tenant Screening without SSN

[Rick Santasiere]

Good evening BP Community!  I am a property manager in CT, and have been doing so for 5+ years, and this is the first time where I have experienced the screening of a potential tenant who does not have a SSN.  It appears as though he is in a student visa status. I definitely don't want to violate any fair housing laws, but have never had this experience before, and I want to be fair, and make sure my owner is also covered from a liability perspective as well. I so appreciate any input or feedback any other property managers, landlords, REB's may have on the matter.  Happy Holidays!
