Ok, I inquired online this morning on Craigslist. I found a couple of ok sounding apartments that I plan on viewing soon. I got a response back from one of the landlords and in the email he sent an attachment of the rental application so that I could look it over. Ok, while scanning through the application, something caught my eye that I found to be rather odd.
In the applicaion, there is a section:
Please List Your References
PLEASE LIST YOUR REFERENCES
Banking Accounts:
Name_________________ Type of Account_________________ Account Number_________________
Name_________________ Type of Account_________________ Account Number_________________
^^^ Has anyone ever seen something like that in an application? I've never filled out an application only a lease in my apartment. Is this normal? I pulled out my real estate books but it mentioned nothing about giving your bank account info![]()

They are all cheap around here, unless I move into a loft downtown, or out to the suburbs..The one w/ that rental application asking for bank info is a 1bdrm, newly remodeled, free heat&water for $475. The other is from someplace else is $390/month.
