Housing question !!!!

[carmie and aldo 0]

Hey there!

First off... where are we living now.. is a studio... that belongs to one of my friends... no credit check on my wife's side or anything that has to do with checking ssn!

I have a question... If i decide I wanna move ( my studio lease ends on jan) and try to get an apt:

1.- If they ask for my ssn (dont have one) what other options do I have

2.- My wife has bad credit..

If I def need to move.. and even tho.. my wife can pay the deposit.. plus the rent... what options do I have for them to allow me to live on the apt..

rules here in san diego are so ####### as far as housing..

they stopped renting people without ssn...

I might have to move

any ideas?

When am I legally required to provide my Social Security number?

In my experience, the landlord just accept to wait for me to get my SSN. I gave him the day I received it. No problem.

I don't understand why you don't have an SSN yet though? You're supposed to get one like 2 weeks after your arrival in the US, no?

Good luck with that!

Hmmm... i can't speak for San Diego Carmie & Aldo, but i know around here, if you've got bad credit, you can still rent a place, but you may just have to pay a larger deposit, or pay 4 or 5 months advance... Not ideal, but if your wife has an ssn and yours is pending... it might be an option. Also, maybe try Craig's List or find a temporary sublet that could be extended into a longer lease.

Good luck,

I started to wonder every time I've read Craig's List? What is this all about? Seems very interesting....
