Rental property and BSN number: What you need to know

Questioner

I am looking for a rental home. My short question now is: are rental corporations allowed to ask for my BSN number? If so, why do they do this? Thank you for your response,

Lawyer

Yes, you are obliged to provide your BSN number to your landlord, as this information must be passed on to the tax authorities.

Lawyer

Yes, they may do this as an additional check to determine that it concerns the correct person and also so that they can directly view or obtain any income data from the tax authorities.
