I am not sure they cannot. Depends on whether or not the apartment is attached to their house or joins their living quarters. I think it is at that point that Federal Laws fall to the side of the road. Idea being you are sharing space with the tenant and there by you can pick and choose.
However, if the apartment is part of a large complex, that may be another matter. It could be part of rental policy, although I don't understand why a work visa, passport or any other form of ID would not qualify. Hell, SS numbers are the easiest thing in the world to fake. No picture on them. I would think a Visa or a passport would do much better.
We own four houses, three of which we rent out. We have asked for Driver's Licenses as a form of ID and have called places of employment. I don't remember ever getting a ss number.
