I agree with you 4plexowner. As an owner, I would decline to provide my personal info as well.
However, I believe that life is a 2-way street. Whether you’re a tenant or an employee, don’t let the landlord or employer hold all the cards. Put yourself in a position to negotiate so you don’t get steam-rolled.
I believe in fairness and a contract that is all one-sided is not a “real” contract in my book.
As a prospective tenant, if you ask nicely and appropriately, you probably will get the assurance that you need.
