Safety is a tough one. Big cities will have safe parts and dangerous parts, and the cost of rent reflects this. It's much cheaper to rent in areas where crime is high, and more expensive in safer neighbourhoods. Sites like this offer maps and statistics that might be helpful

Unfortunately I'm not the best one to comment on availability of jobs, so I'll leave that to someone with more knowledge of the subject :)

I made it very clear that I am referring to individual landlords, not agencies.



You remain a single person, and your views are not representative of the totality. If you are saying that every landlord out there will follow your exact methodology then you are grossly unrealistic, and if you say not all of them will then you agree with me.



And you were talking about blanket statement? I'm afraid you can't tell what ALL people will feel about a perfectly debatable stance.



Agencies and businesses have have standard procedures. When he searches he will meet the the mother renting out her recently married son's apartment, the housewife who's father died and left her a house, or the family man who's just converted his garage into a one bedroom place to help paying the bills. These and many other individuals have no "standard procedures".



Cordially explaining to an individual that you would rather not give your SSN to protect yourself and save time and money then showing them that you've just been screened by the government can only result in a pleasant conversation even if your proposition is not accepted. No reasonable person would take offence or consider it a lecture. Framing it as a combative act against the landlord is quite nonsensical and a sign that you are the one becoming combative. I thought we are after giving the best advice to people, not in some cyber clash of egos.



Then you know there are other weapons. This makes your entire sentence redundant since you explicitly state that there are alternatives, which is what I've said before.



Then you are obviously aware that in a country of more than 10 million undocumented immigrants, a vast number of landlords do rent without a "standard procedure" or requiring an SSN. Doesn't fit your previous assertions.



Not all countries have a credit history system, and there will be the language barrier. You were not happy with showing them that the US screens immigrants which should take a few clicks on google, yet you think it's practical to show them a translation they can't even verify of a credit history or a police certificate from another country. Not a very coherent advice, is it?

I've done my best here, so don't take it personally if I no more engage in this back and forth. I'm beginning to think that this might be about saying the last word even if facts and basic logic are the victim, and I don't indulge in this. Have a good one.

Oh my. I really can't be bothered with this silliness.

Again, you can go on to city-data.com forums to ask things like relative cost vs safety of rentals, cost of living in general, etc. There are quite a lot of sub forums under Florida, but start with where you're most interested in and ask across a few of them. The forums will probably also have some idea of current job market situations in those areas. http://www.city-data.com/forum/florida/

I did already Susie.today and they responded me.thanks alot
 
Rafi to be fair to what Simon says - I don't know what the Florida market is like but here in Northern California the rental market is so tight that landlords don't have to be flexible, there are always people waiting in line for rentals. I also think you'd need to be extremely diplomatic to say to someone that what they're asking for is unnecessary and to accept your instructions instead - and different accents in second languages may make that difficult. Anyway it's kind of an argument over nothing as even you said it's extremely rare to be asked for a background check.

And plenty of illegal immigrants use fake SSNs, surely you know that? Along with landlords prepared to overlook lack of SSN for tenants who will put up with places that flout laws about what they need to provide tenants with. I'm sure this is not the type of apartment Tamer is interested in. It's quite normal for landlords to request a SSN and while I agree in general you need to keep it close, you also need to understand when it is normally asked for.
 
Las Vegas is a good place for living, but not a good place for jobs. Though there are several websites, the big national ones like Zillow, Trulia, etc. have rentals as well as homes for sale on their websites. You can check there for the relevant option for you. I must say Ovation Properties have great options for living in many areas near Vegas. You can check their website for more information.
 
Getting into US is easy but then the problem is surviving. In the event of a financial crisis, seeking a loan is often the first course of action for many individuals who are in USA. Loans can provide a swift and convenient solution to address unforeseen monetary needs. However, loans come with certain eligibility requirements, and only those who meet the criteria are eligible for approval by the lender.
