It is a ranch style property, both units mirror image each other and are identical in size.

I'm screening a tenant and upon contacting the listed employer, they would not confirm any information on the tenant without a SSN, however the tenant will not provide the SSN due to a fear of cyber theft.

Also I read somewhere that having no mortgage (properties paid for in cash) protects you against this type of theft , is that true ?

Looks like there are a bunch of identical properties right there.

So a broker buying a house without representation is charged identically to a non broker who is represented by a buyer’s agent?

I used to have a couple of identical looking locks and would just switch the lock and rotate them as tenants moved out. 

Idem sonans is a legal doctrine whereby a person's identity is presumed known despite the misspelling of his or her name.

Could I claim the exclusion on the rental and partial on the primary, at which point my wife has never claimed an exclusion or is there more reasonable guidance.My claim is that due the theft of my car and the burden placed on me financially and mentally qualifies as an unforeseeable event that caused me to move to a cheaper safer house.My tax preparer disagreed and has asked that I pick up my paper work.

Hangs upClearly identity theft in action.

Should I pursue any criminal things (deposit should cover lease break and theft amounts... that I can see so far), or just let it go?
