"There needs to be a more secure way for landlords to get the info they need to assess a tenant, without risking a prospective tenant getting ID theft.
One thing I used to do was give a prospective landlord a self addressed, stamped envelope so whether I got a place or not, they'd send back the copy of my credit report at no cost to them. You don't want someone just tossing that in the trash, and have some meth head go dumpster diving and steal your identity. Trust me, ID theft is a living Hell." - njudah [Heads Up: Hot Rental Market Means More Scammers]
