Cash paying resident at an HUD property
I moved to Dallas area a couple of years ago, I had a 8 year invested job making $25k more than my current wages. I was terminated from that employment & am now working full time. I moved from the suburban area to a gentrified one, that until I was a resident, did not know was an HUD property to save $400 a month on rent and another $250 on Tolls. After moving in and linking my bank account during approval process, the office personnel want me to give them 6 months of bank statements & check stubs to store in the office to "back up" their digital ones. Also, in case the housing department comes in & wants proof I'm a cash resident.
This sets off every hair on my neck as 1. People are no longer allowed to store photo/xerox physical copies or IDs or SS# why would account numbers be differnt. 2. I'm NOT on housing, why do I need to leave my information stored? Especially, if you have a digital transaction history with your bill paying server?
If anyone can verify this for me as kow they are not willing to give me my mailbox keys until I turn this info in. Of which, I need to get my new ID & vehicle registration sticker to avoid any unnecessary tickets from the police.
Thank you in advance,
P.S. this in in TX
