Has anyone ever heard of this?

The other day my son's father sent me a text message asking for my son's SSN because he needed it for an apartment he is applying for. I of course told him NO. Im thinking he wants it so he can try and claim him on taxes and try to be sneaky about it. He doesnt pay child support and never gets him anything he needs. So he has no reason to even try and claim him. But anyways he tries to tell me that they need it for when he visits. (are they going to get everyones SSN that comes to visit) yea don't think so. He then tells me its so my son's name can go on the lease. (my son is a JR so they have the same name) I don't want him ruining my son's credit before he's 2! I told him that my sons name is not and will not be going on the lease. I've never heard anything like that before where an apartment complex wants your childs SSN for when they visit. I don't think they should be allowed to do it. Has anyone ever heard of this?
