Hello! Happy Friday! Anybody well informed about rental pplication process? This lady is asking for security deposit with application and wants bank account number?? That seems nuts. Can somebody help explain certified check/funds for a security deposit when applying for a rental? I understand the landlord needs to know we have the funds to cover the security deposit and rent, but how do I stay protected from them cashing it and screwing me? If I put "Security Deposit for Apt..." on the notation would that help...?? Thanks - any insight or guidance is appreciated  |

When I worked for the property management company, a lot of people would bring in copies of their bank statements to show a balance. They would block out personal info.
We never asked for bank account numbers.

Also, I can see paying an app fee but never give a deposit until you have signed a lease. Usually those two happen at the same time.

At the very least you should also do a quik Google of her phone number and some other little details. It's free and you might learn something.

Don't be afraid to ask the landlord/property manager questions. I would be hesitant to give my bank account number too, I never had someone ask for that.
The last place I rented (years ago) I needed proof of employment. Since I was working in a strictly cash business I had them bend the rules and they took a notarized statement of income from my boss.

Don't forget to include your pin number if you really like the place.
