Don't accept partial payments kick 'em all to the curb -- don't turn into their therapist or social worker.  

For example, at social outings, volunteer events, or a say a Christmas party, our business sometimes comes up in conversations, which sometimes leads to discussing business strategies, potential deals or partnerships.

The only sensitive information on a W9 is my social/TIN #.

Works for the county as a social worker.I think that this started as one small personal charge here and one personal charge there as a form of unofficial payment for handling the association's business and then spiraled out of control once the charges had gone unnoticed.I have only looked 6 months back.

So my question is what do I do, I was told there is a $0 balance on the water here but was also told I need to go to a office, fill out a form, show the deed and present a social (which I dont have sense Im a Canadian).

It is smart to pay yourself even if it is a little because of social security rules and the ability to collect from them.  

Bring it up in conversation at your next social or networking event and see who takes the bait.

I recently saw a Social Security Administration property that has a 60 day kick out clause.  

I would say there is way too much risk and less you can grab a very large security deposit upfront and be given a full roster of who is staying there along with their Social Security numbers in their private residences address
