I did put in all my channel descriptions "Host requires identity confirmation before check in".thanks, Paul (from VA Beach)

Encumbrances may make your property unappealing to scammers and title thieves.

I don't know the particular company you referenced, but all of the criteria sounds nearly identical to what a number of other companies are doing wherein they have you fill out an application and then use your information to apply to various credit card companies on your behalf.

But I took the question about "passive income from NNN" and copy and pasted the question into Bing AI (which I think uses ChatGPT 4), and the answer it gave me was in part identical to Kislay's answer. 

The results were pretty much identical.

With identity theft I can understand being concerned with protecting your SSN... but this info is required to properly screen tenants.... background check, credit history, work history, income verification etc etc.So if they wont provide it to get those things...

I also have LifeLock for identity theft protection, could that be a write off on my schedule E as well?

Once we have a completed application, we verify income (by calling the employer and/or with paystubs), verify previous address history (this will show up on the credit check, we ask about any addresses that show up on the credit check but are not listed on their application), and verify identity by requesting a copy of their photo ID to make sure their info matches the application and screening reports.Next, we run credit, criminal, and eviction reports.

The Fair Housing Act is what applies to privately owned property (with the exceptions Bruce listed above) and it forbids discrimination against prospective tenants because of their disability as well as race, religion, sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation), skin color, familial status, and national origin. 

Based on the post, I'm not sure if the units are identical.
