Why do some rental application ask for actual bank and credit card account number???



Is it really necessary? What are landlord gonna do with the number? Should I give the number out?

I would only give a bank account number / bank information. in the credit card request section, i'd say ,, please see credit report. i wouldn't list individual credit card numbers and expirations. if the landlord gets a credit report legally, he / she will see your credit card lists and balances.
Thats optional information. You dont have to fill that in.
I can understand why they might want a bank account number to verify you have enough money to pay rent, but absolutely no idea why they would need your credit card number unless they were looking to secure your rent with the credit card. I highly suggest you withhold your credit card numbers!

because if you don't pay they will take your *** to the cleaners
It is for security. Lets say you do not pay or skip out on your rent. When it goes to collections they have an account to garnish. No they can't just take money out without your permission but it is on record and if they ever garnish anything your account may be in danger of being on the list. They also use info on checks to verify funds.
