I'm filling out a rental application (actually, I've already turned it in and have had the management request the information I left out) the likes of which I've never seen before. I looked at it and thought, "wow, it's like the poster child for identity theft." The information I left out was my credit card number, my bank account numbers, and balances thereof. Also requested on this application is SSN and mother's maiden name. I don't think I've ever had to give all of this information before, and it makes me EXTREMELY uncomfortable giving someone all of this information.

Management wants to do a credit check, of course. Understandable. However . . . how much information do you even need to DO a credit check? Isn't it only name and SSN?

So, are landlords allowed to ask for whatever information they want on rental applications? I know landlord/tenant law is supposed to be pretty favourable for tenants here.

Any thoughts? Help please? Wasn't having much luck looking through archives

Anyone know where in Portland (preferably downtown or SE) I should go to get leggings? It's getting warmer and I want to start wearing skirts. Specifically, I'm looking for brightly colored (I have enough black, brown, and grey...) and/or patterned (stripes, stars, polka dots) leggings that are NOT tight/nylon type material. The really tight stretchy ones end up being uncomfortable after a while, so cotton-eyish ones are preferred. I know American Apparel has some, but I believe they're of the nylon/lycra variety. I always look at places like Buffalo Exchange and Red Light, but they're kind of hit and miss.

I want to frolick in skirts! Thanks in advance.
