I brought my fiance (now wife) to the US recently and have supporting her financially as we await her AOS and work authorization. I recently got a job offer and am looking for a rental house in another area. Do any of you have any advice in terms of handling rental applications, particularly as many landlords insist on evaluating my wife's credit history, using SSN, credit, rental histories which she has not yet established in the US. While I know that I will probably have to end up having to ask for accommodation from the land lord, I am apprehensive about revealing too much information that may subject us to housing discrimination. How have others handled this issue in the past? Are there any laws, or protections for reasonable accommodation in these cases that might inform my interactions with potential landlords? Thanks for the advice!

Give them her SSN and say shes new to the country so she doesnt have a credit history. Im unsure why this is a big deal to say? As long as someone has a good job and some credit history you shouldn't have an issue renting.
