Answer:
Many landlords ask for personal information like your Social Security Number and bank details to conduct credit checks on potential tenants. Whether you feel comfortable providing this information depends on your trust in the landlord. You can leave those fields blank, but be aware that the landlord may still request them. It's advisable to discuss your concerns directly with the landlord.
