Though I have my tenant's cell phone number and that of her co-tenant's she refuses to give me her work number or name of her employer. Am I not entitled to that info?
According to the woman at the Attorney General's office, no, you are not entitled to that information. It is logical that you would want that before a potential tenant moved into your apartment, in order to check their credit history and financial status. However, if they are already in the apartment, then you have to just settle with a cell phone number AND an alternate phone number. (Cell phone numbers have this funny way of getting cut off). This alternate number can just be their home number.
You can visit the Attorney General's Tenant Rights Guide to find out additional information, such as issues involving individual apartment locks. According to this guide, "Tenants in multiple dwellings can install and maintain their own locks on their apartment entrance doors in addition to the lock supplied by the landlord. The lock may be no more than three inches in circumference, and tenants must provide their landlord with a duplicate key upon request."
For more information regarding tenant issues, call the Attorney General Consumer Affairs department at 212-416-8000.

It should be noted that employer information is not needed to run a credit check, simply a social security number. Most of that information is optional from what I've read. Landlords don't need it so I don't give it to them anymore even when filling out the application. I simply put down my occupation and the salary and no questions are asked. It seems like a remnant from a time when landlords were way more into their tenants business than they should be.
Nowadays, applicants need to be armed with a letter from their employee dictating their salary and position. That way the landlord has a better idea if the applicant can afford the rent and more importantly they have a job.
Actually applicants should arm themselves with an employer's letter that dictates salary and job position. Most landlords require this because they can determine if the applicant can pay the rent and more importantly that they are actually employed.
landlords need a key, next time someone leaves their gas on or has the beginnings of a fire i don't need the landlord kicking down my neighbors or my own door
i thought this post would be about facebook. i'm mildly surprised.
