Jess asked:
I found an ad for an apartment on craigslist. After I sent an email I received what I assume is an automated response (it was sent within the same minute).

The guy said that because he does not live in the area he would rather make sure his tenants are eligible to rent from him and would need to send a credit report.
I have never done this before but I am pretty sure that my credit report will have ALL of my personal info ( social, date of birth, address) and I would prefer to not have my identity stolen. Am I being too paranoid? I know that landlords require a credit check, but do they ask for it without ever meeting you in person?
sorry for posting it here, but noone else ever really answers questions besides here and mens health…

it sounds about right, but I would black out all the info that was really important before you send it, better to be safe then sorry…
