How should an Aggie grad send sensitive documents to an apartment community?

Quick answer

Use the apartment community’s official application, secure upload portal or screening system whenever possible. If someone asks you to email a driver’s license, bank statement or other sensitive document, ask whether it can instead be uploaded through the approved secure process. Highly sensitive information such as Social Security numbers should stay inside legitimate screening systems rather than ordinary email or text.
