Correct, why should she tell you? If she pays she stays, if she misses rent she’s evicted and you take her to court for a 2 year lease judgment for the full amount. Simple enough. She can then pay the judgment any way she wants.

On the flip side, income, credit score and stability are fairly common for many landlords to consider when renting. Having lived in a military base town, landlords would often post signs “pre approving” certain levels of military rank for rentals.

First off, many leases and lease applications require employment in order to live there and it’s perfectly legal and normal. I’ve never asked for job change information, but before extending a lease it’s perfectly reasonable to have the tenant fill out a new application with that information. If they lie about their job history that’s legal grounds for an eviction.

Does the OP need to know every job detail every month or 3? Absolutely not, but it’s also perfectly acceptable for a landlord to require the place of employment among many other ‘personal’ details like here’s a crazy one guys…emergency contact… If your dad dies and he’s your Emergency contact it’s not unreasonable for your landlord to want an update.

There’s many things in being a landlord the ‘right’ way that information helps and isn’t creepy or overbearing.
