Landlords to Take a Different Tact with Tenant Screening Without a Social Security Number. Some states, such as California, prohibit a landlord from inquiring about a tenant's or prospective tenant's immigration status or citizenship and requiring proof of legal residency or citizenship as a prerequisite to renting.
Here are some of the documents you should gather when preparing to renting as a foreigner: Proof of identification. Proof of immigration status. Proof of income or assets. Personal references. An offer form. Prepare your documents in advance. Read your lease thoroughly. Research neighborhoods.
Yes, it is possible to rent to a non-US citizen. Renting to international tenants is common and legal in the United States. Landlords can consider factors such as visa status, employment verification, and rental history to determine the eligibility of non-US citizens as tenants.
You should have identification such as a driver's license, state ID, passport, or green card to confirm your identity and residency. Having your social security number available is also a good idea.
If you do not have a Social Security Number (SSN) enter your Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN). If you do not have an SSN or ITIN leave the entry field blank.
The non-US owner must obtain a US Individual Taxpayer ID Number (an “ITIN”), if one has not already been obtained. Finally the non-US owner must complete the IRS Form W-8ECI. The IRS Form W-8ECI is not completed unless the foreign owner obtains an ITIN.
For example, in California, landlords are prohibited from requiring tenants to provide their social security numbers and are only permitted to use them for specific purposes such as obtaining credit reports or background checks.
Although not all landlords will need you to have a Social Security number, pretty much all of them will require some sort of legal documentation, so be sure to have that ready before you start apartment hunting.
With the typical background check, you often only need an individual's name and other information about them to search for criminal records. However, a credit check is somewhat different—landlords must collect an applicant's Social Security number to move forward.
