For how long was this rent, and WHERE? Every time I rented for living spaces, the contract had to signed, marked on every sheet that had text, and taken to a notary to be considered valid. This is because all the info is then used to calculate taxes at the end of the year.

Apparently nobody really cares much as long as you look and sound nice and pay them a deposit. They would only ask for the ID in hotels (which I'd vote to abolish as well).
- collyw 4y agoYou didn't mention where. I am curious about that as well as it sounds unlikely in any major city. In a small town perhaps.
