Property Manager Didn't Get Tenant's Social Security Numbers

[Joe Rudi]

Hello,

I hired a new property manager last August 2017 to handle rentals in a 3 unit building I had vacant in Baltimore. She brought me a ready to rent tenant who we checked out via TransUnion's Smart Move product. It uses info provided by the tenant to give a rough estimate of how reliable that tenant might be. Background check and credit score,etc. However we never see the information that the tenant provides to Smart Move.

Thing is - my property manager failed to get the Tenant's Social Security Number nor any sort of an application from the tenants and this has me worried in case I have problems with them.

For the sake of argument - if I have problems with them, is there anything I can do to get information onto their credit report? If I have to evict for non-payment of rent, abandonment, etc?  I have heard from another landlord that if they move prior to eviction, it would be just about impossible to find them, sue them, etc.

I'm starting to feel that I am going to have problems with them. Small tell tale sigsn...

Help.  Many Thanks.
