I don't know any reason why not. If I thought someone might not be 18, I might ask for ID.
Keep in mind that the main reason that you want personal references is to help track down the person in case they run out on any money they may wind up owing you. Secondly you can learn much about a person's character from the people that they are listing as references. Ask the person: How long have you known the prospective tenant? Are you related to the tenant? If not related; How doyou know the tenant? (for instance - from a job or church?) How would you describe the prospective tenant's good qualities?
A landlord can certainly ask for ID to determine who he is dealing with. However, the person's citizenship or immigration status should never be the concern of a landlord. No landlord has any obligation (or authority) to deal with immigration issues. Furthermore, rejecting a prospective tenant based on immigration questions is surely a violation of the Federal Fair Housing Act, being illegal discrimination based in ethnicity.
The only questions that are truly legal are if the employee worked their and what their position was. They can also ask if they are eligible for rehire.
Yes. Housing law has nothing to do with immigration law, and a landlord has no obligation to investigate a prospective tenant's citizenship status. Furthermore, federal housing law prohibits discrimination based on race or ethnicity. The landlord who refuses to rent to someone because of a question of citizenship is probably basing his concern on ethnicity. Does the landlord ask every prospective tenant, or just those who look "foreign."
It depends who you ask.
Then the Tenant can ask for the check to be refreshed. The deposit is the Tenant's money, not the Landlords.
There is no way to tell you here . You must make that judgment when you see a person face-to-face . Perhaps they are just nervous with a prospective landlord. Absent any other red flags, don't put too much importance on this one lapse of manners. Added: As a landlord, if you are considering a prospective tenant, the best way to tell is to ask for reference information from prior landlords, and contact them. This information is commonly requested on rental applications.
Employers can ask that in every state.
Not automatically. Oftentimes the new landlord can keep a tenant or opt to ask him to move out.
it depends if the disabled tenant has another place to live. if they do then yes if not no
They can ask for it, but it would not be wise for you to supply it. Your name, in combination with your DOB, is one of the ways in which an identity can be stolen.
A prospective employer may be interested in your health because many employers pay a portion of their employees' health insurance. Health insurance premiums may be higher if you are in poor health or a regular smoker. However, a potential employer is not legally allowed to ask questions about health during an interview.
