QUESTION
Is it legal for a landlord to ask for a renter's visitor’s ID and/or a SS card and do a check regardless of how often said visitor is there?
Asked on Apr 17th, 2014 on Landlord and Tenant Law - Michigan
More details to this question:
It's a woman tenant and her visitor is her ex who comes and watches their daughter while she works and hangs out for a while after. The landlord said it is because he is there a lot. Does he have the right to refuse without ramifications?

It depends on the lease/renter's contract. Generally it is none of his business unless the guest is causing problems, or residing in the unit in violation of an agreement.

It depends upon the rental agreement and the amount of security in the building. but that seems a little excessive.
