Sorry for hijacking the other post...
That conversation got me thinking... What are my rights as a Landlord and what are the rights of a prospective Tenant with regard to supplying their social insurance number?
This is what I have been able to find...
"Institutions from which you earn interest or income, such as banks, credit unions and trust companies, must also ask for your SIN."...
"You are not required to provide your SIN number to any other private-sector organization or person such as a landlord. "...

Security Deposits are subject to interest and because I have to deposit the S/D into an interest bearing Trust Account I submit that a SIN would be required by the Landlord so as to apply interest to the appropriate Tenant.
So I should be able to legally require the SIN in order to pay interest on the S/D.... ?
