SmartMove masks the applicant’s social security number for their privacy, and to relieve the landlord of the responsibility of storing this sensitive information.

I made a post (in hindsight it should have been a bit more sensitive to the situation, I just thought a bunch of grown men and women who are a bunch of self proclaimed badasses could handle some constructive critisism) that explained financial literacy should be on everyone's mind once we got paid.

This is of course all subject to my immediate market and it is also time sensitive.

Even if you just had one tiny old lady living upstairs, it can sound like an elephant when you're downstairs, and some people are more sensitive to the sounds of someone walking around above them - I'm one of them, which is why I only rent the top floor unit when I rent.Is there any way you could get them to swap apartments? 

They may be able to get a restraining order so they can't contact you or the tenants.

Here in Boston and generally around hospitals medical residents tend to be great low impact tenants: All their time at work or sleeping, generally not too price sensitive (whats another few hundred when you have 300K+ in loans?)

I use rentprep.com so I opt for the feature that allows the landlord to request the applicant to fill out sensitive details online, and they pay for it directly online.

Is this shady or just someone whose hyper sensitive to his privacy?

I hope to be financially free so that a job is never restraining me from the things I want to do with my family.

., she can call 911 and get a restraining order against him which will mean he needs to move out and can't move back in.
