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.
You don't need a person's social security number to file an eviction, in fact court rules prohibit you from listing their social security number for privacy reasons - court records are typically public documents and searchable by anyone (unless sealed by court order).
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.
It's important to note that landlords are unable to check a tenant's credit history without a social security number, since there is no way to pull information from any of the credit bureaus.
There are a few different ways to get a background check without a SSN. One way is to use a public records search. Public records searches can provide you with information about a person's criminal history, employment history, and even financial history.
